WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Why?
We were controlled by the triggers we carried from our childhood sibling relationship. We didn’t know it, didn’t know what to do about it, and thought it would never improve. We decided to figure it out for together, and created the tools every sibling can use to grow up their sibling relationship too.
Sibling Relationships during the Transition to Adulthood
“Research is needed on the continuity between childhood roles and relationships and those observed during the transition to adulthood.” (P.6); “This review highlights the complexity of examining sibling relationships during the multiple transitions of early adulthood while taking individual, family, and cultural characteristics into account.” (P.6) “Some argue that sibling relationships become voluntary relationships in adulthood…Others conceptualize sibling relationships as involuntary throughout the lifespan due to biological relatedness of the individuals…however…our understanding of the nature and meaning of sibling relationships in early adulthood is far from complete.” (p.7)
The Relationships with Siblings in Early Adulthood - Analysis of Conditions
The main purpose of the presented study was to establish the determinants of sibling relationships in the period of early adulthood. The following variables were analyzed: age, gender, parent status, perception of material conditions and empathy level. The author also sought correlations between empathy and the psychological aspects of adult sibling relationships.
Theoretical Perspectives on Sibling Relationships
“First, sibling relationships are multidimensional, and they very across time and place.” (P13); “Finally, because sibling relationships are the longest-lasting relationship that most individuals share—a quality that makes sibling relationships unique—it is essential that future work examine them over extended periods of time.”
The Third Rail of Family Systems: Sibling Relationships, Mental and Behavioral Health, and Preventive Intervention in Childhood and Adolescence
The Pennsylvania State University
“…siblings are a driving force in one’s competence and success in school, with peers, and with romantic partners, as well as one’s difficulties with self-esteem, depression, and disruptive, delinquent, and risky behavior. These effects extend from childhood into the rest of the life course.”
