When siblings fight, they are usually seeking to be the most loved child. "Sibling rivalry is the fighting that occurs between children as they compete for
The Sacrifice of Savior Siblings A parent wants to do everything to ensure that their child has a safe and healthy life.

The Sibling Society by Robert Bly is a moving call for the rediscovery of adulthood. It is not about siblings in a family. Robert Bly has used the term “sibling society” as a metaphor to suggest that we are in a culture that doesn't look up to parents or to grandparents. What are these siblings like?

Little Talabrina stifled a giggle with her tiny hand. She poked a single gold eye around a corner. She played with Yasraena like this for hours. Her stuffy big sister wanted her to do some boring stuff in the family Chapel. No doubt, it was for some dumb boring chanting again, or something else just as boring. So she snuck out and let her sister chase her around the House. This was much more fun than staying in the Temple. Right now, she hid by her eldest brother’s room. She heard Yasraena scream

Sibling Rivalry Sibling rivalry is one of humanity's oldest problems. One of the first stories in the Bible deals with the rivalry between two brothers, Cain and Abel. The older brother, Cain, was irritated at constantly having to help take care of his younger brother, Abel, and kept asking his parents: "Am I my brother's keeper?" The story of these two brothers has a tragic ending; Cain becomes so angry that he kills Abel. The fact that this is one of the first stories within the Bible shows the
An existence of sibling rivalry or competitive behavior between siblings can depend on numerous factors. Children’s early needs include a need in feeling secure, which could be satisfied by a primary caregiver as well as other social figures involved in a child’s development.
