Competition between siblings is common. It’s a major family problem if your kids start seeing each other as actual enemies

Sibling rivalry isn’t rare and includes a strong focus on competition, jealousy, bragging, and showing off. In a nutshell, siblings compete with each other to get their parents’ attention, love, support, and resources.

And while a smidgen of rivalry is practically unavoidable (anyone who has siblings can attest to that), it can be taken way, way too far.

If left unchecked, the rivalry can develop into a situation where siblings don’t treat each other as equals, even when they grow up. It can even lead to physical and emotional aggression.

In the very worst cases, siblings see one another as actual enemies. They do whatever they can to undermine them.

Breaking that cycle of hatred is going to take lots of therapy and genuine effort to reconcile. But reconciliation might not always be possible (or even desired) if the relationship has turned poisonous.

For instance, like the author of the online post, you might find it next to impossible to forgive your sibling if they stole the love of your life just because they were envious of the way your parents treated you.

Parents very often have a favorite child, even if they’re not aware of it

Now, parental favoritism isn’t a myth. It’s a (very) uncomfortable truth. The American Psychological Association notes that parents often secretly have a favorite child.

Usually, parents are more likely to favor daughters over sons, as well as kids who exhibit conscientious and agreeable character traits. In short, parents like responsible and organized kids more.

You can show favoritism in various ways. For example, in how you interact with your kids, how much money you spend on them, and how much you try to control them. This favoritism has both positive and negative consequences.

Children who receive less favored treatment, love, and support from their parents tend to have worse mental health. On top of that, they are more likely to have strained family relationships.

Your kids need to understand that you love and support them for who they are as individuals

As per the Harvard Business Review, to keep sibling rivalry in check, parents ought to avoid making comparisons between their children.

What’s more, they should strive to become aware of their biases, celebrate each child’s strengths, and encourage their kids to follow their interests.

Meanwhile, it’s vital that parents spend individual time with all of their children.

Preferably doing what they enjoy doing. That way, they’ll understand that they’re all a priority to you.
