Brothers & sisters

Article Abstract:

Children who grow up in mixed-gender families are more relaxed with the opposite sex than those who come from same-sex families. The chances of sibling rivalry are also reduced. There are also disadvantages for the children, since they have no one with whom they can share gender-specific interests.
