Just saw a clip on Good Morning America about siblings playing together. Here's an excerpt from the GMA website review of Dr Kramer's book: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Parenting/story?id=8449624: "For over twenty years, (Dr. Leslie) Kramer has tracked sibling pairs from infancy through adulthood... It turns out that the ratio of playing together to fighting together is key; there have to be more good times than bad times. Siblings who don't fight -- but don't play together either -- end up not having warm relationships as adults". Whew! What a relief! And Alexandra's approach sounds wise! Deb Hey, Peter.
