...Sibling Rivalry: Cause-Effect Siblings generally spend more time together during childhood than they do with parents. The sibling bond is often complicated and is influenced by factors such as birth order, personality, and special parental treatment. Siblings may be of the same gender or opposite, they may be around the same age or ages apart, sibling rivalry among them is a commonplace; only the intensity may differ. Rivalry is different from fighting. It appears when children compete for their parents’ love and attention. When a new baby is taken into a home where an older child lives, the older sibling may become jealous of the new baby and the changes that are taking place. The time and attention of parents that was previously devoted to the older sibling is now halved and the older sibling may feel he or she needs to get that attention back. From these feeling, sibling rivalry is rooted. Depending on the severity and longevity of the rivalry between siblings, sibling rivalry could have long term psychological effects. Each child is born into a different family, even children with the same parents. The first child has a monopoly on the parents' love for some time. The second child is always confronted with someone who is older and ahead. The youngest will always be the baby. Each position is totally different and influences that child's behavior. Each child must find his own special place of significance in the family. They must compete for their parents' love and attention...

...Avoiding Sibling Rivalry After Birth By Dave Ouma Mar 12, 2012 After all the pain of going through pregnancy and birth, there finally comes a time when a mother has to take her child home to meet her new brothers and sisters. Many mothers feel confused as they do not really know who to create a fuss over. Do they fuss over the new child or do they fuss over an older child? The best way for a mother to get around this situation is to preplan for the arrival of the new baby at home. If possible, the mother should have another adult at home to hold the new baby so that you can give the other child some much needed attention. If a mother notices that the older child seems to be very interested with the new child, a mother should help him to get a closer glimpse of the baby. Typically, the older child will automatically start comparing how big he is and how tiny the new born baby is. If by any chance the older child does appear to be interested with the new baby, do not be overwhelmed. He may just need some time to adjust to the new brother or sister. Also if the new born baby is fast asleep he may not generate much interest for the older child. It may be a good idea as well to give the older child a gift when he or she initially meets...

The text shows different opinions on how these skirmishes between siblings needs recognition. Corinna Jenkins Tucker thinks that bad behaviors among siblings that are crossing the line into being abuse deserves more attention. New research is showing that sibling conflicts can cause psychological wounds as damaging as the pain caused by bullies in school. The reason why the bullying between siblings have not been studied so much is that everyone thinks it is ordinary for siblings to fight and is widely considered as a harmless rite of passage. Parents have an incredible big influence on the sibling’s behavior. The problem with parent is that they favorites their children, and puts them into categories like ‘’the smart one’’ and ‘’the atlete’’. That was some different reasons and opinions on bullying between siblings. Outline: In two different texts, we are seeing some positive and negative aspects of sibling rivalry.

Researches proofs that fights between siblings damage as much as if you were been bulling in school or playground, and it should be taken much more seriously. The families don’t acknowledge the fights, punched and kicking between the siblings and the parents thinks that the children might find it out.

... Being an only child vs Siblings In today’s society “being the only child” and “having siblings” has been a question that have been asked from time to time. Some people think it’s better to be the only child, others feel like having siblings is the way to go. In my opinion as an only child I think having siblings is way better. Being an only child has a lot of benefits but having siblings outweighs being an only child If you’re an only child your parents only have you to spend money on without having to worry that they have share amongst you other siblings something. As an only child you grow up more independently and being able to fend for yourself better. You get more attention from your parents you never have to compete with anyone to get all of the attention from your parents but of course if you had other siblings your parents would have to share their attention. Another good thing about being an only child is your maturity level is always higher than people your age, your mentality is always different than people your age.so people will often tell you that your so mature for your age. This also makes you more introverted as a person because you get to spend more time alone. And think about stuff differently. The most important pro to being an only child is you have no sibling rivalry. Having sibling rivalry prevents so much issues in a family. There are some disadvantages to being an only child also...

Peter is tall, handsome, kind-hearted, and is heir to the throne. Whereas Thomas is short, round, unlucky, and resents his brother for constantly overshadowing him. To just about everyone in the kingdom, Peter is seen as superior to Thomas. Their father favored Peter so much more than Thomas that Thomas started to believe that his father did not love him. Thomas was heartbroken because “he wanted to make his father love him the way he loved Peter. In fact, Thomas would have been happy if their father had loved him even half as much.” This is the main cause of the sibling rivalry between the two brothers. One incident that added on to the sibling rivalry was when Thomas spent an entire day laboring and carving out a model sailboat as a gift for his father. This sailboat had great sentimental value to Thomas. Unfortunately when Thomas gave his father this sailboat, his father completely ignored it, said “it looked a little like a dog turd with a handkerchief sticking out of it”, and began talking to Thomas about Peter’s accomplishments. Thomas became so enraged at his brother that he was vulnerable and in need of a friend. This helps in the story’s progression because the story’s antagonist can take advantage of this...
