Sibling bond

The relational bonds between brothers and sisters are woven and unwoven according to the events of life.

• We speak of brotherhood for bonds between brothers and sisterhood for sisters.
• Parents set the tone for sibling relationships: they can create the groundwork for understanding and support but are also capable of fostering competition and conflict.
• Unlike friends, siblings have intimate knowledge of their origins.
• The sibling bond is built and evolves over time.
