LOL that’s not the solution in every case

@ thread: It is thus better to be their friend, not only bro/sis. If they do something wrong, use wisdom and tell them politely. And keep telling them but don’t go after them repeating the same thing over and over every 5 minutes (which will drive him/her further away). When I say keep telling them, I meant that look at the situation and keep telling them according to that but you have to be polite and use wisdom when you speak. Give examples from lives of Prophet/Sahabas/and others who you might know personally. Take the younger siblings out once awhile. Play sports with them. Talk to each other and be their friend. If they have something going on in their life, ask them and talk to them about it to guide them better instead of the ‘live & let live’ rule which might take them on a wrong path.

v. well said! a part of the wisdom u talk of is to never use religous examples when they are annoyed/angry… this isn’t very productive… it shud only be done when they are calm.

being friends is the best (if not the only) way! one other way is to always be there for them, even if it means putting our needs second coz they will see how sincere u r towards them inshallah. Also, small presents once in a while goes a long way… everyone feels good knowing that you thought of them
