Due to regulations of age or number of children allowed in a foster home, siblings must be split up which can cause behavioral, psychological, relationship issues with one or all of the siblings.
Since I am the oldest child, I’ve always had to send a good message to my younger siblings and take responsibility for my actions when I didn’t.

Children without siblings tend to face more pressure from parents, because all the pressure goes to one child. If a child has siblings, the pressure given is spread out among the siblings. There is also a difference in personality. A psychologist of the Australian National University in Canberra recruited over 400 Chinese young adults and gave them a number of surveys and tests that tested a variety of psychological traits.
