- Margaret Mead

About this Quote

In this quote, Margaret Mead highlights the complex and dynamic nature of the relationship between siblings. She recommends that within a household, the bond between siblings is frequently identified by competition, as they may vie for attention, resources, or approval from their parents. However, as siblings grow and develop, this competitive nature changes into a strong and solid bond. Siblings who might have when contended versus each other now end up being each other's most significant fans and allies. This change is a testimony to the long-lasting and powerful connection that exists in between sisters, one that can hold up against the difficulties and changes of life.
