sibling dynamics

Sibling dynamics refer to the patterns of interaction, relationships, and influence among brothers and sisters within a family. These interactions can include cooperation, rivalry, support, competition, and caregiving, shaped by personalities, age differences, family environment, and life stages. Healthy sibling relationships often involve mutual respect and loyalty, while conflicts may arise from jealousy or differences. Understanding these dynamics helps in fostering positive relationships, as they impact emotional development, social skills, and family cohesion throughout life.
