How to Make a Sibling Stop Copying You

Sometimes it seems that the mission of a brother or sister it to annoy you. If you are the sibling that is the target of this annoyance, it can be extremely frustrating. One method they use to bother you is copying. If this copying reaches an unbearable stage, there are ways to get this sibling to stop this imitation.

Instructions

1. Examine the actions of the sibling to make sure they are actually copying you. Sometimes it may seem like they are copying your action, dress or mannerisms but in reality it was just your imagination or maybe they were just going through a phase.

2. Talk to friends and family and ask to them to observe the sibling. It is always good to get another perspective on a situation. It may also be that the sibling copies everyone in some fashion and it's not just you. If they notice the copying then you have verified proof that they are indeed mimicking you.

3. Sit this sibling down and talk to them about their actions. They may not realize they are copying you. Make sure they understand how much this annoys you and that you want them to stop. They also may become confrontational or be hurt. If this happens then say you were mistaken or kidding to alleviate the tension.

4. Observe them to see if their actions change at all. If they don't change then you know the talk did not work.

5. Ask your parents to intervene and talk to the sibling. It may sound like tattling, but sometimes there is no other way to make it stop.

6. Ignore your sibling and just get on with your life. It could be that they are just doing this for attention and if you ignore them then the attention reward disappears.
