How do siblings influence and get along with one another in middle childhood?
What will be an ideal response?
Siblings influence each other directly through their own interactions and indirectly through their impact on each other's relationship with their parents. Parents' experience with an older sibling influences their expectations and treatment of a younger one. Conversely, behavior patterns a child establishes with parents tend to spill over into the child's behavior with siblings. Having a warm and supportive sibling relationship is associated with better adjustment, social competence, and better emotion regulation. Sibling relations can be a laboratory for conflict resolution. Siblings are motivated to make up after quarrels because they know they will see each other every day. They learn that expressing anger does not end a relationship. Children are more likely to squabble with same-sex siblings, and two brothers quarrel more than any other combination.
