Siblings learn from watching each other.
Siblings play a powerful role in child development. While siblings might compete for attention in the household, they can also become supportive friends and role models. Siblings who interact frequently influence the other's social behaviors and personalities as they develop into adults. In a 2004 article for the website Sage Journals, Gene H. Brody of the University of Georgia Center for Family Research writes, "Interactions with older siblings promote young children's language and cognitive development, their understanding of other people's emotions and perspectives, and, conversely, their development of antisocial behavior."
