[quote=Anonymous]I have an only child, but from my observations the younger sibling always surpasses the oldest and gets a huge advantage from being able to watch them, play/practice casually with them, etc. My DD is a competitive gymnast now and has flirted with serious tennis and dive along the way, and I can’t think of a single younger sibling who hasn’t surpassed the older one. She’s actually said she’s mad that she doesn’t have an older sister because then she would be so much better. Constantly playing “up” with an older sibling at home and getting to copy and watch the older one’s practices or skills is huge. So if you can encourage the younger one to stick with it and work through their frustration, they’re at a massive advantage.[/quote]
