Siblings who don't get along is one of the major reasons why families don't have more kids.
It drives everyone nuts, disrupts the family, makes you feel overwhelmed, and eventually leads adults who SHOULD be best friends to be essentially strangers.
That's why one of the main components of building a family team is creating strong sibling bonds between each one of your kids.
Today's guests have 5 children and have been very intentional about creating systems and rhythms in their family that grow the relationship between each sibling.
Learn their 3 techniques for building strong sibling bonds that lead to a more peaceful home and lifelong closeness between your kids.

| 0:00.0 | this is like a absolute game changer. We have to figure out how to create healthy sibling |
| 0:04.8 | relationships. And there are unique elements for how to do that when you're trying to build a |
| 0:09.2 | family team. So what we're going to talk about you guys is sibling relationships, how to |
| 0:16.4 | create sibling bonds. The whole month of June in the family team's accelerator is going to be |
| 0:20.7 | about sibling bonds. So we're going to dive deep into this. This is something that Annalisa and Joey have thought a lot about. So I'm excited for you guys to hear a little bit about what they're thinking about this. But yeah, maybe you guys introduce your family real quick. Tell us about your team. We have five kids. So we have our oldest Juliana, Leia, Hosanna, and Eliza. And then we have our |
| 0:40.1 | young son Jeremiah. And we also have, which is an absolute blessing, my mom that lives with us as well. |
| 0:46.6 | So we really have that generational family household that we kind of talked about for a long time |
| 0:52.1 | and said we wanted. And honestly, we get to live it out. And it's been incredible. Yeah. Our oldest is 12. And then, like you said, our youngest, they all range. They're like all around three years apart. So our oldest is 12. And our youngest is seven months. Awesome. And so your context is a little bit unique. So, Joey, you're in the military, Annalisa, you're |

| 1:43.0 | So it was very much like ingrained in us, like, hey, your siblings become your best |
| 1:47.6 | friends as adults. |

| 1:54.8 | And then we jumped into the family team's world and we're like, man, these are, especially |
| 1:58.9 | because we move a lot and coming up on a move soon, it's really easy to tell the girls, like, man, these are, especially because we move a lot and coming up on a move soon, |
| 2:02.2 | it's really easy to tell the girls like, hey, it's hard, but also you're moving with your |
