Brothers And Sisters

  • Brothers and sisters are siblings. Siblings have a great deal in common with one another. They have:
    • similar family heritage
    • a parent or two in common
    • people who expect them to obey similar rules.
  • However, every child has their own personality and occasionally there will be 'sibling rivalry'. This happens because each child wants attention and love from their parents. It also happens because they are two different people who live together and think and behave differently. It is normal for children to have times when they disagree with others.
  • The age of each child doesn't really matter when it comes to sibling rivalry. There are a lot of theories:
    • Some believe that if the gap is less then two years the first child isn't really old enough to understand the arrival of a baby.
    • Others say the first child should have a chance to enjoy their unique place in the family.
    • Still more believe that a gap of more than three years can cause children to feel more left out.
    • A gap of five years or more can have parents feeling they are starting all over again and can mean that there are two 'only' children.

     

·         It is up to your family to decide how big a gap you want between children and then enjoy whatever happens.
