Sibling conflict
"Why can't our kids just get along? Why must they always fight?" Parents get tired of the teasing, competing. They can't understand why their children can't leave each other alone, and just be friends. "Who needs it?" parents ask.
The answer is "the children do." Fighting is not a sign of children not getting along. It is how they get along – using conflict to test their power, establish differences. Children compete for dominance, parental attention, parental support. When we are children, our brothers and sisters are our first friends and first enemies. Many experts say that the relationship among brothers and sisters explains a great deal about family life, especially when brothers and sisters often spend more time with one another than with their parents.
Studies have shown that sibling relationships between sister-sister pairs and brother-brother are different. Sister pairs are the closest. Brothers are the most competitive. Sisters are more supportive of each other. They are more talkative, frank, and better at expressing themselves and sharing their feelings.
On the other hand, brothers are usually more competitive with each other. The major exception to this is identical twins for whom similarity creates an unusual intimacy. The more alike they are, the closer they feel.
Experts agree that the relationship among siblings is influenced by many factors. For example, studies have shown, that both brothers and sisters become more competitive and aggressive when their parents treat them even a little bit differently from one another. But parental treatment is not the only factor. Genetics, gender, life events, people, and experiences outside the family all shape the lives of siblings.
