Real “life training” begins at home when your sister won’t share her toys or when your little brother scribbles all over your new coloring book. It continues as you grow up and learn how to respond to daily trials and conflicts—big or small—that you experience at home. If you can’t succeed at home in the “small conflicts,” how will you be able to deal with bigger conflicts later in life?
Our brothers and sisters are one of the biggest blessings that God has given us! But sadly, many siblings fight, argue, and miss out on the close relationship that God intends. The problem is not just the surface battles, but the underlying attitudes, wrong concepts, and offenses. Many broken relationships never get fixed. Few enjoy the special, lifelong treasure that God intended. God desires that we not merely “get along” with our brothers and sisters, but that we become best friends!
Is this possible? Absolutely! God's Word has the answers for every situation, and the Lord gives grace to those who ask for it.

Rachael and Jude are my cloest spaced babies at 18 months apart. These two are best little friends, you can always find these two together.
I read this little book a few years back, it confirmed many of the things the Lord has already put in my heart for my family with some practical how-to's.
