Friends come and go, but family is forever—especially sibling relationships. While you may love your parents and your extended family, nothing can quite compare to the relationships you have with your siblings. Sure you might roughhouse with your brothers and you probably bicker with your sisters from time to time, but at the end of the day the love and support you get from your siblings is unmatched by any friendship. There has been a lot of research to support the value of a healthy sibling relationship in a child’s life. As Psych Central reports, Laurie Kramer, Ph.D., researcher, Associate Dean of Academic Programs and Professor of Applied Family Studies at the University of Illinois explains “siblings are closer to the social environments that children find themselves in during the majority of their day, which is why it’s important not to overlook the contributions that they make on who we end up being.”
