Sibling rivalry is a type of competition or animosity among siblings,
whether blood-related or not.Siblings generally spend more time
together during childhood than they do with parents. The sibling bond
is often complicated and is influenced by factors such as parental
treatment, birth order, personality, and people and experiences
outside the family. Sibling rivalry is particularly intense when
children are very close in age and of the same gender and/or where one
or both children are intellectually gifted.According to observational
studies by Judith Dunn, children are sensitive from the age of one
year to differences in parental treatment. From 18 months, siblings
can understand family rules and know how to comfort and be kind to
each other. By the age of 3, children have a sophisticated grasp of
social rules, can evaluate themselves in relation to their siblings,
and know how to adapt to circumstances within the family.Sibling
rivalry often continues throughout childhood and can be very
frustrating and stressful to parents. Adolescents fight for the same
reasons younger children fight, but they are better equipped to
physically, intellectually, and emotionally hurt and be intellectually
and emotionally hurt by each other. Physical and emotional changes
cause pressures in the teenage years, as do changing relationships
with parents and friends. Fighting with siblings as a way to get
parental attention may increase in adolescence. One study found that
the age group 10 to 15 reported the highest level of competition
between siblings. Sibling rivalry Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
