Show Notes

Squabbling with your siblings is pretty common when you're kids, but what happens if that escalates into a full-blown rivalry, or something even worse when you become adults?

Is it inevitable that you will always feel in some kind of competition with your brothers and sisters, or can some siblings have fantastic relationships throughout their lives? Is it a case of nurture rather than nature, meaning that parents can take steps to ensure you get along?

The Quicky speaks to an expert in family relationships to find out what the psychology behind sibling rivalry is, and what both parents and kids can do to stop it before it escalates.
