Benefits of siblings

There are several benefits of having siblings here are some of them:

Everyday, children with siblings learn to negotiate, or cooperate with another social being. Over time, siblings learn how to compete and what to expect from an opponent. The dynamics changes as they mature in age. This largely depends upon how the parents interact with the siblings as they learn from your behaviours and mimic your personality. Children loves to play pretend and some times naughtiness develops a ripple effect because of this as it only takes 1 to create mischief and the second will have a tendency to follow. However, this also speeds up the development of the younger siblings as they would have some one to constantly play and talk to them, be it scolding received from an elder sibling, the little ones have a tendency to be impatient and pushes themselves further to acheive a task that is way above their developmental milestones. I believe this was what happened to Nathan as he has the luxury of having his sister to coach him and talk to him. Natalie also learnt people management skills through negotiations and drawing territories on what's hers as she act as the teacher or the boss in the family.

I feel that Children who must deal with multiple siblings learn to be better leaders And parents with more than 1 child makes better coach and multitasker. Dealing with group requests and tricks makes us learn to think alternatively and Though we tend not to give in to negotiations, siblings who learn to work together have a higher tendency of success in dealing with rejections and in achieving what they want.
