'Younger sibling are more likely to be better at sport'

Is this statement true or false? 🤔

Yes, it's true!

'Playing with an older sibling makes you more competitive'

Is this statement true or false? 🤔

telegraph.co.uk/sport/2021/03/…

This is actually true!

The most famous women’s sports team in the world is a testament to the little sibling effect. USWNT legends Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan played with older siblings when they were growing up

'Older siblings are challenged more'

Is this statement true or false? 🤔

telegraph.co.uk/sport/2021/03/…

No - this is false

Older siblings give young children someone to learn from and therefore challenge the younger sibling more.

'Younger siblings learn through copying'

Is this statement true or false? 🤔

telegraph.co.uk/sport/2021/03/…

True!

Two or more people working together to learn a particular task, which is called dyadic learning, has been shown to be more conducive to learning new skills. Younger siblings benefit because they can learn more from their siblings than vice versa

Send this to your younger sibling for an ego boost, but to be honest, they couldn't have done it without you!
