The quality of the relationship between each child and parent and between parents affects the sibling relationships. Parents who are constructively responsive to their children exhibit good feelings and cooperative behavior among their children. However, once the relationship between one sibling and the parent out weights the other relationships between others through attention, favoritism or affection it can bring about sibling rivalry amongst siblings. “Parents ' differential treatment is a key component of siblings ' nonshared experiences within the family. Indeed, cross-sectional research documents that children monitor their own versus their siblings ' relationships with their parents beginning at an early age.” (Shanahan pg. 2).

One minute we get along perfectly and then the next we’re almost at each other throat with fussing. The main reason I feel when don’t get along easily at times is because we’re first in two difference stages of development. While I’m practically a young adult, he’s just entering the adolescence, therefore he’s always being annoying, disrespectful and always looking for ways to bother me in particular. Sometimes I try my best to just ignore him because I know he’s still a child but whenever I don’t and try to correct him it always leads to a heated argument. Which results in me getting the most punishment, because my parents feel since I’m the oldest I should be able to handle those situations in a better way. But they fail, at times, to realize that my brother is also old enough to know right from wrong and he needs to get the proper punishment for it as well. Which is how parental influence affects our sibling relationship because I feel they don’t give him the proper punishment he deserves. They sometimes let him get away with it or when he does actually get punish, it’s over in the next couple of days, where as if I was me on the other hand I would have to suffer a punishment for at least a week. Overall, my relationship with my brother has its up and downs but I still love him at the end of the

What was once nonexistent is now becoming an alarming new normal. Parents everywhere are hovering over their children and watching their every move, creating a dangerous parenting technique called helicopter parenting. Such parents often make important decisions for their children and even bail them out of sticky situations. This movement is creating a nation of children who can no longer fend for themselves. While parents may feel it is necessary, it is often harmful to a kid’s future.
Parenting styles refer to a set of different manners in which parents raise their children. There are four parenting styles including authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. The authoritarian parenting style is based on the implementation of rules, and on the idea that all rules should be followed without exceptions. Similarly, authoritative parenting style implements rules, but the child feelings are taken in consideration and reasonable exceptions to the rule are allowed. On the other hand, in permissive parenting style, there is implementation of rules, but they are rarely encouraged to be followed. Lastly, in uninvolved parenting style, there is a lack of engagement between parents and children, and there are

In this brief authors Epstein, Griffin and Botvin, (2008), Maintains that young sibling play an important role in shaping their environment. During an individual’s early childhood, attitudes and behavior is developed. However, the author believes that older sibling plays an important role in creating family standards and structure throughout the lifespan (Epstein, Griffin, & Botvin, 2008).
Raising a family is like a roller coaster, sometimes it moves up everyone is happy, and they get along. Other times when family members dislike each other and things are bad the rollercoaster moves down. No matter what most parents manage to get their families through the ups and downs that the life throws at them regardless of the difficulty. One of the things that makes raising a family more difficult is when then younger sister/brother is more spoiled than their older sibling. If the parents are not careful in how they raise their kids and they spoil one more than the other these could be risky for the family. This can cause many problems in the future that could jeopardize the family relationship. People can relate to this situation if

Diana Baumrind’s theory on parenting was defined by four different types. The types are, authoritative style, authoritarian style, permissive style, and uninvolved style. My parents have an authoritative style. Authoritative is when the parents give certain limits and restrictions but keep it to a minimum and are usually pretty reasonable, providing reasoning for their decisions. This type of parenting style expresses tenderness and warmth. When the rules come into conflict with something, authoritative parents bend the rule more often than other types of parents.

Every parent has different skills that they use when dealing with their child. Growing up I had two parents with completely different techniques on how to handle situations with me. Both of my parents love me unconditionally, and would give me the entire world if they could. For every parent, teaching lessons and earning respect is a very important aspect to them. Each of my parents love me so much, but both have very different ways of showing affection, discipline, and communication.
