Do you have a child that really goes out of the way for their siblings? Perhaps they share their most precious toys when they know their sibling is sad? Do you have an older child who has taken a little brother or sister under their wing, or been amazing with the arrival of a new baby? If your child doesn’t have any siblings, how do they care for others around them?

However your child has been a really great sibling, share this below to be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

Reading to a younger sibling when they had been upset - very sweet

My ds is an only child but his nephew (who is only 2 years younger) is like a little brother to him. He has always loved being at his house and they get up to all sorts of mischief! Even now that my ds is a teen, he still tries to include my nephew (who is not quite yet a teen) in as much as he can with his friends

only when we were growing up and left home. now she's great, but younger she (or we) were monsters to each other.

i'm very proud of how my eldest son has taken his younger brother under his wing to help him with and support him playing footie in his new team

My son had a bit of trouble from a couple children at his new school, and his first thought was to go running over to his big sister. His DS is normally such a mild-mannered girl, but she stepped up, asking these children directly why they were hurting her DB, before heading for a teacher to report the incident.

my 3 kids are great, they share and play together and when we were on holiday in haven the other year they had gone to play mini golf and my son was hit in the head by the gold ball his brother came running to get us while my daughter was rushing him to the first aid section.

Our little treasure gives us so much pleasure and is a joy to have, a few weeks ago we had the family for dinner and she asked if she could do the dishes. I wanted to help but she would not let me, she even put tge dishes away

My children really dont get on from day to day but when something happens they are there for each other no matter what.

My youngest passed away aged three after an operation and it broke my whole family. I was in a bad way as were my partner but i felt like i had to push my own pain aside for the sake of my children to help them but it wasnt always possible. I felt like i failed them if they saw me cry. My eldest daughter who was only 11 at the time, took my younger two under her wing and told them to go to her and they would help each other. She even made them a memory jar and they all wrote good memories in and when they needed to think of the good times they took a memory out to read.

Shes a huge support to them and to me and her dad. I honestly dont know what i would of done without her help. The memory jar is now something we all do following on from an idea she started x

My eldest was there holding my youngest's hand on her first day at 'big' school. it broke my heart

They fight, like every sibling does, but they regularly look after each other - only this weekend my daughter spent her last £1 on a Halloween present for her brother.

my DD brought her sister a nappy when I needed it last night, it was so cute

I was so proud of my son when he took his sister under his wing when she first started school. He made sure she knew where the bathroom was, that she was OK and introducing her to his friends.

No siblings but they are very friendly with other children.

My youngest son was born seriously mentally handicapped, my elder son (by just one year) was always so protective, very caring and so grown up in so many ways. We lived in a cul-de-sac with a small shop right at the end. One day my next door neighbour (pensioner) asked Mark to pop to the shop for her, as a reward she gave him a chocolate, so Mark promptly came into the house to share with Ian. I explained to him that he didn't need to do that as he was the one that did the job he should get the reward. Marks answer was "no he is my brother, I always share with my brother" He was six and a it at the time. Just melted my heart

My daughter was only 4 days past her 5th birthday when I unexpectedly had to have an emergency section resulting in my ds been born premature. For the 4 weeks my son was in nicu she was a fantastic big sister even though they had never even met at the point, on the day I could finally bring ds home, she was allowed into the nicu was after 4 weeks apart and have their first cuddle, that was 2 years ago and they have been inseparable ever since, they have an amazing bond.

I have a 6 year old and a one year old. My little boy has had to grow up gast since the little one came along. He was having a mummy cuddle last night, and the youngest did not like it and was trying to pull him off by his hair. He just got up, and said Isabella wants a boob. Bless him she does it all the time! Obviously some times he is not quite so understanding, as i am his mummy too.

They are always looking out for each other

When my little ones are together they fight like cats and dogs but when they are away from eachother they miss eachother lots, I have a 5, 3 and a 2 yr old girls and our 5 year old is usually very overprotective over our youngest girl but not with our middle child. Our 5 year old really surprised us once when the first time we took our little ones to the park and it was the 1st time we let all 3 lose, this happenedwas a year or so ago. most of the children at the playground was around 5 years or older and I was looking after my youngest whilst the other 2 played happily. I noticed more then a few of the kids getting curious about my middle child as she was younger and wanted to play with her. My middle one started gets getting quite nervous especially when she was surrounded by quite a few older kids, when my oldest pushed past all of them and put her arm in front of the other kids protectively to stop them coming any closer and said really loudly SHE'S MY LITTLE SISTER AND I AM PLAYING WITH HER and took her hand to lead her away and it was the 1st time they played together so happily without any bickering.

helping him settle at high school give me peace of mind that they are there looking out for him

our little 2 year old has been busy run the kitchen with her toy broom - cleaning up - makes it all worthwhile

My daughter plays and sings to her baby brother and loves playing with him! She loves it when he comes to pick her up from school as she loves all her friends to meet him! It’s loveky watching them interact together

My two bicker like cats and dogs but it does make me laugh when I'm telling one of them off for being naughty and the other gets protective and tells me off back (i.e. don't be mean to my sister )

helping the younger one with his Maths homework (just as well because I don't get it!)

My ds doesn't have any siblings, but he is absolutely lovely with little ones. He's a hairy pre-teen but will always have small people with him at holiday club and is very patient with them

Our eldest daughter shared her ice cream with our youngest daughter after she dropped hers... They took turns licking the ice cream and it went everywhere! ;)
