Children’s relationships with thir brothers and sisters are an important part of their everyday lives. The researchers found out that:

Сhildren often said that having brothers and sisters meant there was always’ someone there for them, and gave an emotional sense of protection from being alone. Children loved and cared for each other, but also recognized that everyday disputes occurred. Some children however, intensely disliked their siblings.

Some children said that their brothers and sisters gave them a strong sense of identity as being part of group, and saw sharing possessions and bedrooms as unremarkable. They had a strong sense of independence and found it difficult to share possessions or bedrooms with their siblings.

Talking together was important to girls in their relationships with their sisters and brothers, while for boys doing things together mattered in their relationships with their brothers. In broher– sister relationships, activities took precedence over talking.

Children often talked about elder brothers and sistrs taking care of and protecting youngest siblings, as well as having power over them, and about younger siblings as receivers of this attention and authority. Some younger siblings, however, looked after their elder brothers and sisters and saw them as immature.
