Older brothers don’t always have to be in your face all the time and oftentimes they have so many great things to teach you.
The way I have interacted with my younger brother over the years is that I treat him with respect.
There are times where I have to give him some tough love, but all in all, I want to teach him the right way to act around me and other people.
You don’t have to be strict. In fact, if you give him too much “coddling” he won’t learn proper social behavior.
This is especially important when dealing with girls. If you let him date when he’s 14 then what happens when he’s 19?
I was there and boy was it not pretty. When he is around girls, he gets “in the way” but when he is out with them, he doesn’t stand a chance.
He treats girls poorly and does whatever it takes to get in their pants. His heart is not in it, so they often dump him.
What is the key to being a great older brother?
The key to being a great older brother is to never tell him what to do.
If he asks for your advice then offer it, but if he does not, he will learn through his own mistakes.
As for raising him, it comes down to being there to support him and to let him know that you are there to help him when he is ready to be there for you.
Teach him how to act around women and how to treat them, but don’t tell him how to be a good boyfriend or husband or father.
Your younger brother is your first best friend. They are going to be there for you when no one else will.
If you screw this up, you will be letting down not only him, but yourself. He is going to need a guy that he can count on and that is the kind of guy I am.
Love him, he’s your brother. Do not treat him as your babysitter or worse, like your little brother.
Is your younger brother the “little kid” or the “big kid”?
When I was 14, I was the biggest kid in the world. I was in high school and everyone was just starting puberty.
The older kids thought they were so grown up because they were the first ones to hit puberty.
I was the youngest kid in the neighborhood.
Now I am the biggest kid in the house. One thing I found out as I got older was that you only know what you know.
You can learn a lot from a younger kid, but it is almost impossible to change what they are thinking.
I have made mistakes as a big brother and it has been hard to raise a kid without him hating me.
But I can guarantee that if you raised him in a loving environment and told him all the right things, he will grow up to be someone that will make you proud.
Guys want a sister
According to a study done by Bruce L. Gellerman, the ability to relate to a sister can boost both the brother-brother relationships and the probability of being raised by a single father.
A study was done in Italy where men’s ability to relate to a sister is 11% higher than the ability to relate to a mother.
A study was done in Iceland in which men’s ability to relate to a sister is 14% higher than the ability to relate to a mother.
A study was done in Denmark where men’s ability to relate to a sister is 12% higher than the ability to relate to a mother.
The study concluded that a father and a sister share the same degree of closeness as a mother and a brother.
The study also noted that the level of closeness to a sister in older men is the lowest of all siblings.

Moreover, more men seek marriage with a sister than a brother.
The study concluded that 1 in 4 men seek marriage with a sister while only 1 in 7 men seek marriage with a brother.
You need a sister
A recent study by Emily A. Adams, a doctoral candidate in psychology at Boston College, and Dorothy Espelage of the University of Florida, examined young adults’ responses to the question:
“What kind of sibling is more important for a happy and successful life: a brother or a sister?”
The study found that 1 in 4 men, aged 18 to 28, prefer a sister, and the other 1 in 7 prefer a brother.
When the same question was posed to women, however, the difference in preference between a sister and a brother was zero, meaning there was no relationship between the sexes when it came to a preference for brothers and sisters.
Moreover, men who preferred sisters were the most satisfied with the sibling relationship.
The authors conclude: “We surmise that when men are contemplating their relationships, they may be considering the idea of heterosexual marriage and the idea of parent-child relationships.
They are likely comparing themselves to peers and are determining if their sibling relationship is fulfilling these roles.”
