Conflicts between siblings

However, Dr. Bedford, which studies the relationships between same-sex children, also found that between sisters conflicts arise more frequently than among the brothers, perhaps because their relationships are more emotional. "Close relationships generate conflicts," she says.
With few exceptions, conflicts are common not only among the sisters, but even between siblings. "Close people bear the scars of the wounds which are applied to each other, says Faber, who has been working with parents across the country to teach them how to properly respond to the competition of children. Great suffering can cause deep resentment: "I was ugly, she was a beauty. I feel stupid, she was a good girl. " This is very hurt. Often we make a picture of yourself on the basis of our place among the brothers and sisters. "
First impressions are vital for many years; we carry them, and the rivalry childhood into our adult years. "In their studies, says Faber, I ask those present to close their eyes and then asked:" Who among you has not completely freed from the sense of the old children's competition "Hands slowly begin to rise?. Then I ask everyone to open their eyes and look around. They look and they breath. So many hands raised, as many people have learned the secret that they did not want to share even with your eyes closed. "
