Competitive brothers

This morning, Jonah was trying out some new breakdancing moves on the trampoline.  Jaden went out back to join him and soon after Jonah came inside all upset because Jaden said that he wasn’t doing it right.

Scott:  Jonah, because you and Jaden are brothers, you will always want to compete with each other.  And each of you will want to win.  Your brother will always want to be better than you.  And you will always want to be better than him.

Jonah:  Because I AM better than him.

About Anna

I've been married to my college sweetheart for 17 years and we've been in full or part time ministry ever since. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools our oldest son (11) while our youngest son (9) attends public school. Having adopted both our kids, we are big fans of adoption. My oldest has Asperger's Syndrome and my youngest has been diagnosed with a mood disorder, possibly bi-polar. I also have two long-haired dachshunds that I adore - Eli and Graham. I enjoy camping, watching movies, listening to and singing all types of music, and just spending time together with my precious family.

    This is too funny. Sounds like siblings :-) I can just hear Jonah when he said that, also can see the look on his face :-)

    This is so true, Anna, Scott do you have any discipline tips for when this kind of “competition” gets out of hand?
