Parade magazine’s Sophie Hirsh sought Dr. Vernig’s input for her article about connections with adult siblings. Alongside Drs. Amanda Sellers, Kim Chronister, and Maggie Hogan, Dr. Vernig discussed how siblings can grow apart as they grow up. He noted that not all distance is created by a major rift; sometimes time and changing priorities cause a slow drift in separate directions. Dr. Vernig also urged readers who want to reconnect not to expect a return to the kind of relationship they had as children, but rather understand how relationships can evolve.
