Given that the sibling relationship is often the first time young children have enduring and dyadic interactions with a child of a similar age, there has been some focus on the association between sibling relationship quality and friendships with peers. It’s wonderful to see their social skills (and social lives) bloom, to see them play and laugh, and to know they are learning to support—and be supported by—their pals.
