Question
Dear Dr. M & Liz,
I don't get along with my sister. I think we need to bond more. What do you think?

—Maddie, 14, Texas

Advice
Dear Maddie,
You don't say why you're not getting along with your sister, but it's certainly worth trying to work out your conflicts with her. Unlike some friends who may come and go, sisters are forever.
—Dr. M

Dear Maddie,
I think it's great that you want to bond more with your sister and improve your relationship with her. Try to find something you have in common with her or try playing a game you used to play with her when you were younger. It will bring back the memories of the times when the two of you got along, and the two of you will be able to be competitive without fighting.
—Liz
