Rivalry
Sibling rivalry can lead to competition for parental attention, which may affect self-esteem and social skills development.
Support
Positive sibling support is linked to better psychological well-being, lower levels of depression, and improved social competencies.
Role Modeling
Older siblings can serve as role models, influencing younger siblings' behavior, aspirations, and attitudes.
Identity Formation
Interactions with siblings contribute to the development of a child’s identity, including aspects like self-concept and individuality.
Conflict
Ongoing and unresolved sibling conflict can lead to the development of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in children.
Caregiving
Siblings often take on caregiving roles, which can foster a sense of responsibility, altruism, and maturity, but may also lead to stress and resentment if excessive.
