What sisters actually want from brothers |
Gifts from Sister to Brother -The Rakhi IS the Gift, But Also
- A handmade Rakhi carries more weight than a bought one -especially if made with your child's hands
- A homemade mithai box -besan ladoo, kaju barfi, whatever he loves -made specifically for him
- A photo frame with a picture of the siblings -especially appreciated by brothers who have moved away
- A book, subscription, or experience aligned with his interests
For the Children -Making Raksha Bandhan Theirs
- Let daughters choose and tie the Rakhi themselves from age 3 -the act of choosing is part of the festival
- Let sons practise sitting patiently and graciously receiving -this too is learning
- Give children their own small mithai to offer -not a piece from the adult box
- A Rakhi exchange between siblings (regardless of gender) -sister to sister, brother to brother -normalises the bond beyond its traditional configuration
