Younger Sibling Advantages And Disadvantages

701 Words3 Pages

The people one loves the most are also the people that annoy them the most, siblings. Specifically, younger siblings. Having a younger sibling is the best thing a child could have. A younger sibling is one that trusts you no matter what and will be one’s best friend for eternity. Having a younger sibling is extremely beneficial for many reasons. A younger sibling allows an older sibling to learn about responsibility, patience, what it means to be a role model, and allows an older sibling to teach a younger sibling about life. First of all, a younger sibling allows an older sibling to learn about responsibility. An older sibling is the one who babysits the younger sibling when older. They are the one who keeps an eye on the younger sibling when playing outside, and they are the one who makes sure the younger sibling doesn’t open the Christmas presents before mom and dad allow them to be opened. A younger sibling gives an older sibling a sense of what it means to be responsible for someone else. While it may be a small responsibility, it creates an unmatched lesson to the older sibling. Learning what it means to watch what one does and says is pivotal in the growth of a human, and having a younger sibling does just that. Having a younger sibling provides one with the lessons on responsibility that need to be learned to succeed in life. Secondly, a younger sibling teaches an older sibling about patience. Younger siblings love to ask questions, especially annoying questions.

There is also a difference in personality. A psychologist of the Australian National University in Canberra recruited over 400 Chinese young adults and gave them a number of surveys and tests that tested a variety of psychological traits. The study found that participants born after the One Child Policy went into effect were less trusting, less likely to take risks, less conscientious, less optimistic and less competitive.
