Sibbling rivalry, a childhood issue or a lifelong issue?

There is a possibility that these children would bring their treatment for each other till they grow old. If there is a "superior-inferior" treatment between the two children by their parents, of course, one gets jealous. So they should be treated equally.

Sibbling rivalry will arise if the parents will not trained their children to be friendly and to be good at all times. Parents play an important role here. They should teach their children good values and how to behave properly at home and in the society as well. Sibbling rivalry if left unresolved will persist until they grow old.

A difference in personality types is one of the main reason for sibling rivalry. Any family that has more than one child is going to experience sibling rivalry at some point. It is an inevitable fact that children who are in the same family are going to have differences of opinion and behave accordingly. The parents are responsible to avoid this instances. The parents must treat their kids equally. They must not give biased decision based on gender affection. Never sow kids any unfair or biased action as you are the role model for them. In this way, the siblings will learn to respect each other, each others decisions and opinions, treat each other well and so on.

yes its a nOrmal thing.Even parents trained their child tO have a close relationship everytime, still there comes a pOint that sibling rivalry cOmes. But if situatiOn gOes like this, there's a pOssibility that it will persist until they grOw old.because everytime they dO this cOnflict, the mOre they rehearse theirselves being rival.

Sibling rivalry is normal to a children, because in childhood age, they are fun of playing but easily to be angry and thats the cause of rivalry. All kids can experience this situations in their childhood age. If they were grow old, it depends upon the family if they are happy and closed family. We cannot deny the fact that their is also a rivalry in our adulthood age but not just like during childhood.

It depends. But mostly it's a lifelong issue, especially if the parents brought them up not in a good way. It also depends how the children manage this issue as they grow older.

I guess that it would really depend on the siblings and the attitude that they grow up with.I for one could never ever hate my sisters I Love them very much regardless of how much they might piss me off sometimes ... lol!! I guess that is all part of life though right. Live and learn love and be loved and live your life to its fullest and don't live to hate and hold grudges that is no way to live.

Sibling rivalry could be either a childhood issue or a lifelong one. I think it depends on how parents handle this. My brother and I are 7 years apart. As all siblings do, we sometimes fight. But as for sibling rivalry like cats and dogs, no. I remember seeing a little girl, around 6 I suppose, hitting her baby sister (maybe 2 years old) who is being carried by the mother. She is hitting and annoying her baby sister who is crying all the time. The big sister had this very angry look in her eyes. Maybe the parents have put their attention more on the younger child making the older one want for attention. While the big sister has annoying the hell out of her baby sister, the mother just ignores it. I think that's a serious matter and the mother should have intervened or else, that would persist until the sisters grow old.

It's a good thing, people like them becomes great in life, they'll have a sense of competition, they can take harsh things in life easier, warriors acted like that in their childhood, didn't you know ? But if you try to break them up, and control them, they will become wimps.

i think sibbling rivalry takes our lifetime.. if one of your brother or sister envy to you, it will be forever.

yes, it is a normal for children but parents should have an action to this to prevent the insecurity of that children until they grow old.

yes, it is a normal experience but parents should have an action to make their children close because if not, they will carry this kind of problem until they grow old.

I beleive it on a case to case basis. Sibling rivalry doesnt have to be a lifelong issue. Yes, it is common in childhoon, and even prevalent in adults. However, as we mature, we should get rid of our prejudices, envy and childish jealousy. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who are childhood rivals and still rivals till now, yes that is true. However, IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY! If we have indeed matured, if we have indeed learned, and if we are indeed grown-up enough to accept our faults and forgive other's mistakes, then we should learn to step away from petty sibling rivalry issues. It's just a matter of looking into yourself and ask yourself, am i emotionally stable and secure enough to resolve these issues and move on with my life? or am i still an immature and insecure freak who can't let go and still dwell on such petty childish issues? We have faults and so do they, its just a matter of acceptance really.

yes, sibling rivalry may last long until adulthood. this may happened if one child feels shes unloved or she believes her parents are favoring the other one.

I can be both. Some brothers and sisters naturally hate each other, and many of them, no matter how much you try to get them to get along with each other, it will never happen. Some brothers and sisters have tried to kill each other, or have killed each other because of how bad their feelings are towards each other. Although, it's funny, they never know how much they need each other until the other is gone.

That depends on the situation and on their parents.If they're not trained by their parents to behave civilly (or should I say in Christian way) they would probably inherit that conflict throughout life.Any wrong attitudes are easily corrected if training starts at childhood.Teaching them the WAYS of God which include LOVE AND SACRIFICE will somehow help them to grow as LOVING PEOPLE.

sibbling rivalry is a natural thing for a brother or sister even in a stage of adulthood. For the children they always wanted equal attention and love from thier parents. If that rivalry remain unresolved in childhood,it is still persist until they grow up. It needs disceplinary action from thier parents to stop that said rivalry.

sibling rivalry is a natural thing. in my opinion, it exist even in adulthood but in a different level. i believe it depends on the level of maturity of an individual. the personality of a person also counts on how she/ he reacts in a particular situation with regards to her/ his sibling. undeniably, i may say that parents or people around are consciously or unconsciously being bias to a particular person. its inevitable.
