Children who experience a rewarding friendship before the birth of a sibling are likely to have a better relationship with that brother or sister that endures throughout their childhood, said Laurie Kramer in a University of Illinois study published in December’s Journal of Family Psychology.
‘When early friendships are successful, young children get the chance to master sophisticated social and emotional skills, even more than they do with a parent. When parents relate to a child, they do a lot of the work, figuring out what the child needs and then accommodating those needs, says Kramer. However, this is not usually the case when two children are interacting.
The research showed that the benefits of early friends are long-lasting. Children who had a positive relationship with a best friend before the birth of a sibling ultimately had a good relationship with their sibling that lasted throughout adolescence, Kramer said. And children who as preschoolers were able to coordinate play with a friend, manage conflicts, and keep an interaction positive in tone were most likely as teenagers to avoid the negative sibling interaction that can sometimes launch children on a path of antisocial behavior, she added. ‘From birth, parents can nurture and help develop these social competencies (or skills) by making eye contact with their babies, offering toys and playing with them,’ she said.

Mass media, including television, the internet, and social media, plays a significant role in the lives of teenagers today. While it offers several advantages, it also presents some disadvantages.
One of the key advantages of mass media for teenagers is that it provides access to a vast amount of information. Through newspapers, TV news, and online platforms, teenagers can stay updated on current events and expand their knowledge on various subjects. Moreover, mass media facilitates communication and connection among teenagers around the globe, allowing them to share ideas and experiences.
Additionally, mass media offers entertainment and relaxation. Television shows, movies, and online videos provide a means of escapism from the stress of daily life for teenagers. They can also discover new forms of art, music, and literature, fostering creativity and cultural appreciation.
However, there are also disadvantages to consider. One major concern is the potential for exposure to inappropriate or harmful content. With unrestricted access to the internet, teenagers may come across explicit material, violence, or misinformation. Moreover, excessive use of mass media can lead to sedentary lifestyles, contributing to physical health problems such as obesity and poor eyesight. Another drawback is the impact on mental health. Constant exposure to idealized images and lifestyles portrayed in mass media can create unrealistic expectations and lower self-esteem among teenagers. It may also contribute to cyberbullying and online harassment, affecting their emotional well-being.
In conclusion, mass media offers numerous advantages for teenagers, including access to information, entertainment, and global connectivity. However, it is crucial for parents and guardians to guide and monitor their media consumption to mitigate the potential disadvantages. By striking a balance, teenagers can harness the benefits of mass media while protecting their well-being.
