It is well-documented that relationships between children and their parents fundamentally affect children’s their behaviour as adults. But now the importance of these/such relationships between children and their parents is being challenged as new research shows that a child’s relationship with its siblings may have a more important effect on a child’s their future adult behaviour.

Psychologist Francine Klagsbrun says: ‘Our relationship with our siblings is unmatchable. Our siblings They are there whether we like our siblings them or whether we don’t like them not. Other relationships change – parents die, friends drift away, marriages break up, but relationship with siblings carries on and the memories of life that has been shared with our siblings them remain with us long after childhood has ended.’
