Stable Siblings

Have you got a little brother or sister? Do you love them? If the answer is yes to both there is something simple you can do to give them a better chance for the future.

Reading to kids and / or helping with homework can lower their risk of developing psychaitric problems, research shows. It also develops their social skills enabling them to interact better with peers, a think absent in sufferers of personality disorders.

So says a study by the University of New York as they looked into a way parents can protect children.

Often parents have neither the time nor the inclination but an older sibling can be just as effective. Set aside 15 minutes a day three times a week. Surely you can do that for someone you love!
