to control sibling rivalry?? the term sibling refer to children who are related by birth,children of same parents and live in the same family.its history dates back to very ancient times.in biblical times Joseph had serious problems with his brothers and the dreadful time Cinderella had with her step sisters.there are many causes of sibling rivalry. it may be due to the difference in attitude,likes & dislikes,temperament etc.but the most important factor is the parental attitude.parents are taught to be impartial towards their children but most of the time due to various reasons they tend to be partial to a particular child... reason may be the child's intelligence,good looks,nice behavior or child being the youngest one etc. and comparison of a child with the other is a thing that every parent should avoid which may feel the inferior child with a sense or feeling of jealousy & resentment.each child feels he is unique and he resents being evaluated in relation/comparison to someone else.instead of comparison each child in the family should be given his own goals & levels of expectation that relate only to him.sometimes parents even indulge in gender bias towards their children which is very harmful..for example giving the boys better food,clothes,provide better facilities for education & giving all freedom to them while ignoring the girl child. what do you think about sibling rivalry?what is your opinion about it?? how can it be cured???
