Sibling relationships tied to children’s vocabulary skills | Lifestyle | GMA News Online: In large families, young kids can't always get a lot of individual attention from parents—but healthy interactions with an older sibling might help compensate for that, a new study suggests.
How older children interact with their siblings is tied to the younger children's development, Canadian researchers found.
"The idea is that here is this effect of being in a large family where you don't get that many resources, but if you get an older sibling that's really attuned to your needs that would be a modifying effect," Jennifer Jenkins told Reuters Health.
