Sibling bullying: What's the big deal?

Chris Engel 9/23/132:27 PM

"People tend to think that siblings are going to tease and bully one another; just goes with the territory," Kowalski said. "Minimizing the behavior in this way, however, fails to examine the consequences that sibling bullying can have for the relationship between the siblings involved, something that most definitely needs additional research."

Kowalski suggests annual checkups at the pediatrician's office as a venue to increase awareness about bullying.
