Book Description

Publication Date: January 19, 2010

Statistics show brothers and sisters do not share as close of a relationship as they once did. They are starting to grow apart earlier, which is damaging their connection as adults. Is there anything parents and grandparents can do right now, while their children are young, to influence their adult relationship for the better? Brett A. Johnston, a father of three, wondered the same things, leading him on a quest for answers. His extensive research into adult sibling relationships led to the development of Close Kids. In this insightful book, he explains the various influences on sibling relationships and reveals the factors most common among the closest siblings that any family can apply. Implementing his findings into your children's lives will result in positive, lifelong sibling relationships for your children. Parents, learn what it takes to have Close Kids for life!

I loved this book for its unique perspective on a rare topic. Any focus given to the family in our age is of great use to parents and children. Now when my children squabble, I think of the concepts in this book and change the way I respond in order to build lifelong learning about relationships and the value of family and siblings in particular.

5.0 out of 5 stars I care about how close my kids are so this was important to me, February 8, 2010

I had never really considered what type of relationship my kids would have. My wife and I want them to be closer than we are with our siblings. The thought of them not being together forever is not pleasant. The ideas seem to be a rational path to help with this matter. I've never seen anything quite like it before.
