The Sibling Relationship

Do you love and hate someone at the same time? Your love for them is to an extent that you can even give your kidney without a second thought if needed but won’t share a chocolate? That’s the quirky kind of relationship you can only have with your sibling.

 

Your relationship with your brother or sister shapes your life in ways you are unaware. Your sibling is your first playmate, your best friend and for some, equivalent to a parent. There are different psychological impacts depending on whether you have a younger sibling or an elder one. Sibling relationship influences your development, social skills and your ability to adjust to different environments. It plays a significant role in your life just as parenting do.  Siblings can also serve as a source of comfort home vibes. Your relation with your sibling narrates the kind of personality you possess.

“A lack of siblings may still shape your life in some ways, but it is only one influence among many.” says Anderson University psychologist Susan Doughty.

 

As much as you love them, you always find yourself fighting with them over silly stuff. Sibling rivalries are normal. To strengthen the bond and express how much you love them, here’s a list of some movies you can watch this Rakshabandhan weekend:

Dil Dhadakne Do

Hum Saath Saath Hain

My Brother … Nikhil

Dhanak

Bumm Bumm Bole

Sibling relationship is a lifelong journey of loving, understanding and supporting each other (while fighting over a TV remote).
