Siblings and Socialization
Spunky has posted a great little gem on Siblings and Socialization. My favorite bit:
A recent issue of Time Magazine looked at the impact of siblings in our lives. It seems the researchers are discovering how important these relationships really are.
"Siblings have a socializing effect on one another," says psychologist Daniel
Shaw of the University of Pittsburgh. "When you tease out all the other
variables, it's the play styles that make the difference. Unlike a relationship
with friends, you're stuck with your sibs. You learn to negotiate things day to
day." It's that permanence, researchers believe, that makes siblings so valuable
a rehearsal tool for later life.
And while you're at Spunky's, check out the great comments on the previous post, Typical Homeschool Questions. I wish I could think of answers like these on the spot!
