How to use sibling in a sentence?

  1. Christine Reinolds Kozelle:

    It's very common when there is more than one sibling for one to dominate, this is natural and we don't interfere. This is a way to educate people about the natural world.

  2. Jonathan Caspi:

    Sibling relationships are so important, but they are often overlooked, if you feel like you are grounded and connected to your family of origin, they are like your home base. You've got these people you can always come back to.

  3. Ramin Javahery:

    It was just so not within my thought processes that you could have her sibling coming in, i assumed it was someone else. …Then I was told by the oncologist about what was going on, and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’.

  4. Shauna Harrison:

    The biggest thing is that it's such an odd situation that there's not a lot of people who can understand, you know what it's like to know that your dad is not your dad or to wake up and have a new sibling.

  5. Laurie Kramer:

    People seem to be healthier, happier and better adjusted -- all of those things are related to having positive relationships with siblings, you know, and a lot of that comes from this idea that you can get support and help and validation from having someone close to you who shares a history and understands the world in a similar way to you, what we don't really know is the root cause, whether it is that happier people are less depressed people and are better able to form positive relationships with siblings or having a great sibling relationship is helping people better cope with all the things that life throws at you.
