Sibling Spacing: Close Together or Far Apart?

It's not always—or even often—in our control, but what is the ideal spacing for siblings? Our listeners who had kids close together—and far apart—explain why it's worked for their families.

What are the best things about having closely spaced siblings? What about farther apart? Siblings' closeness, amount of conflict, and relationships as adults are all affected by the age differences between them.

In this episode, the listeners with closely spaced children tell us why that has worked for them (constant playmates) and not (constant bickering), while those with kids with larger age differences point to the unexpected connections that can still result.
