The idea
Siblings close in age are children's first peers, offering companionship and practice in resolving conflict; younger siblings learn by watching older ones.
In practice
Young siblings clashing about eight times an hour in observations, a normal, healthy rate.
Where people slip
Rivalry eases with complementary temperaments, good communication and no favourite child. Older siblings gain empathy and leadership.
