[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As with most sibling relationships (IME) it's a lot going to depend on the temperament of the two kids, particularly the older one. The age difference matters less than temperaments. [/quote] This is true. That said imo 5 to 6 years is the ideal age gap. Close enough that they can still sort of be playmates but enough spacing so they each get their own infancy and toddler hood which imo cuts down on rivalry also enough gap in school to limit comparison. You do have to make effort to make sure the younger one isn't just dragged along with the older one that they get the chance to develop their own interests.[/quote]
