Depending upon the number of siblings that teens have can have an impact on how those relationships play out in family functioning. For instance, a teen who is struggling that has a younger sibling may feel that their brother or sister doesn't get them, perhaps too little to understand teen life. Conversely, they may feel a sense of purpose for caring for a younger sibling that gives them a cushion against the everyday stressors of being a teen and then having to deal with the wrath of their parents. Considering sibling position gives parents a way of understanding whether or not siblings represent an opportunity to stay connected to the family or another obstacle to overcome.
