Why sibling bonds are important
While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn explained the importance of sibling bonds, saying:
"Siblings are usually the first “similar age” friends we interact with. These interactions, especially when siblings are young and may not have gone to school or made many friends yet, lay the foundation for how we socialise and interact with other people."
"Generally, the interactions in early sibling relationships lay the foundations for how we will interact with others later on. Of course, as we grow older and interact with more people, these can also influence our opinions on relationships," she added.
Sibling relationships are crucial for learning how to form relationships with friends and form initial beliefs about interacting with others. Penny went on to explain the following ways to foster healthy relationships with siblings.
However, the early relationships have the most impact. Caregivers/parents can foster healthy relationships among siblings through:
- Encouraging cooperation
- Helping to solve problems without blaming one person
- Not playing favourites
- Ensuring the children have a good time together
- Encouraging respect for one another
- Not comparing children or pitting them against one another.

Nontuthuzelo commented:
"This is the most honest one I have seen. I love it. I truly believe twins are different. They may be interconnected, but they are their separate identities."

"I’m starting to think other twins orchestrate these videos."
