Training your sibling is a delicate art, much like taming a wild animal except louder and with more snack negotiations. The key is positive reinforcement. For example, when your sibling finally returns your stuff without being asked five times, reward them with something they love maybe the TV remote or first dibs on dessert. Over time, they’ll learn that good behavior leads to great rewards, and maybe, just maybe, they’ll stop hiding your charger.

But don’t forget the commands! Simple phrases like “Leave it,” “Stay out of my room,” and “Don’t touch that” can be very effective with the right tone and persistence. A spray bottle is optional, but bribery with snacks is highly encouraged. Sure, they might not sit or roll over, but with patience and practice, you might just turn your sibling into the most well-behaved creature in the house until they realize what you’re doing and start charging you for snacks.
