People who have sibling rivalry as children may have never adequately learned social skills. They may not understand how to resolve or prevent conflicts. Compromise and cooperation may be foreign concepts to them. They may not understand empathy - either to give or receive it.
What is the problem of sibling rivalry?
Sibling rivalry is the jealousy, competition and fighting between brothers and sisters. It is a concern for almost all parents of two or more kids. Problems often start right after the birth of the second child. Sibling rivalry usually continues throughout childhood and can be very frustrating and stressful to parents.
