What factors give rise to sibling rivalry?

There is a lot of impact in the sibling connection. One is each sibling's unique temperament. They might frequently argue, for instance, if one sibling is laid-back and the other gets irritated easily. Similarly, siblings who observe the youngster's unusual clinginess and want for parental comfort and love may harbor resentment toward the other sibling since they feel like they aren't getting the same level of attention.

Do you know other factors that lead to rivalry between siblings?

Some other factors includes situations where the parents favours one of the siblings more than the other and they tend to make it very obvious. Issues like this could lead to rivalry and even jealousy.

I believe the major cause of rivalry in siblings is caused by the parents. If the parents don't create atmosphere of love and harmony in the family it will adversely affects the children. It is the parents role to create strong bond between the siblings without favoritism. Everybody receive equal attention and love.

In my opinion, one of the possible reasons for rivalry is envy, because very often one child is more gifted than another, and because of this, envy arises, because of which the worse child tries to harm the other
