I actually have both the brother and the sister do the same things — pray for well-being, protection, vow to protect, feed each other, etc. It’s a more modern take as I want my daughter to protect her bother and my son to do more than just protect his sister. The celebration is traditional and I love it, but it’s pretty easy for me to make the ceremony and its implications a lot more gender neutral for today’s modern world and for my kids to see that their roles are the same no matter their gender.
