Dear Queenie,
My little brother tags along wherever I go and copies everything I do. If I play a game so does he, if I watch a certain TV show he does too.
Queenie, my mother says I should take it as a compliment, but I just get tired of it all. What can I do about it?—Fed-up big brother
Dear Big Brother,
Talk to your parents about this. Your mother is right that you should take it as a compliment, but your parents can – and should – encourage your little brother to develop his own interests and skills. They can also help you find and become involved in activities that would not include him, such as sports or scouting or a volunteer group.
