About The Science of Sibling Rivalry
Can you really tell whether someone is the eldest, youngest or a middle sibling?
We all talk of siblings being set in certain roles depending on where they come in the family, but is there any science to this anecdotal stereotyping? Examine sibling relationships in detail with Catherine Carr, author of Who's the Favourite? and host of the Relatively podcast and Linda Blair, family psychologist. Chaired by Julia Wheeler.
There will be a book signing after this event.
