#anecdote #child_development #parenting Back when we were kids we always used to fight with my brother over who gets to push the button of the elevator. Even though I am 3 years younger than my brother I stopped trying to compete with him over this much sooner than he did. The reason is because I had the chance to discuss my emotions with my parents it was much easier for me to "integrate" ( See [[ENG - Integration Helps Different Parts of the Brain Work Together]] ) My brother on the other hand because of his hearing problem was not able to Integrate as fast. This is because he lacked the communication to discuss his emotions openly.
