A positive to sibling rivalry

From another library book I'm reading now, Love, Magic, & Mudpies: Raising Your Kids to Feel Loved, Be Kind, and Make a Difference, by Bernie Siegel, MD:

"Life is about competition and rivalry. What better place to be trained than the family where love is present? Children can act out and still be welcomed back into the house. The competition of sibling rivalry is not about making their brothers and sisters look bad it is about creating their individuality."

It's just nice to know some good may come of the sibling rivalry I've been enduring here. There's a lot of frienship and alliances, but oh the fighting can drive you mad! I hadn't thought that something positive could come of their fighting! That's one thing I love about reading, messages you need to hear can come your way through books!
