Violence Towards Siblings - New Passage
Psychology
"As many researchers have found, the mothers reported that their child frequently exhibited aggressive behavior toward a sibling. Sibling physical assaults were reported for 72% of the children in this study, a figure that closely matches the 80% of children
ages 3–17 with sibling assaults in national studies. Approximately half participated in severe violence (49%), here kicking, biting, punching. Again, reflecting other studies that found 53% of children regularly hitting their sibling."
