Short Answer

Developmental Concepts in Early Childhood: As one of four children, Tawaia has had lots of time to interact with her siblings. Siblings are not vital to a healthy child development, but when they are present in a family, siblings often form close bonds with one another. Rivalry is also a common dynamic among siblings, and children often gain influential lessons in taking the perspective of other people through their (sometimes competitive) interactions with brothers and sisters.
