Study links early friendships with high-quality sibling relationships

Children who experience a rewarding friendship before the birth of a sibling are likely to have a better relationship with that brother or sister that endures throughout their childhood, said Laurie Kramer in a University of Illinois study published in December’s Journal of Family Psychology.

‘When early friendships are successfull, young children get the chance to master sophisticated social and emotional skills, even more than they do with a parent. When parents relate to a child, they do a lot of the work, figuring out what the child needs and then accommodating those needs, says Kramer. However, this is not usually the case when two children are interacting.

The research showed that the benefits or early friends are long-lasting. Children who had a positive relationship with a best friend before the birth of a sibling ultimately had a good relationship wirh their sibling that lasted throughout adolescence, Kramer sai. And children who as preschoolers were able to coordinate play with a friend, manage conflicts, and keep an interaction positive in tone were mosy likely as  teenagers to avoid the negative sibling interaction that can sometimes launch children on a path of anti-social behavior, she added. ‘From birth, parents can nurture and help develop these social competencies (or skills) by making eye contact wirh their babies, offering toys and playing with them,' she said.
