Abstract

China’s unique one-child policy and two-child policy have objectively given birth to a large number of two-child families, in which the two children have an age gap. The superimposed changes of parent-child relationship and sibling relationship faced by such families have aroused the attention and extensive discussion on the emotional function of families. Questionnaire survey was conducted on parent-child relationship and relationship of siblings with an age gap from 5 to 28 years old from the two-child families. The results show that the emotional communication has a significant influence on the relationships mentioned above compared with other family functions. Meanwhile, the data show that the decisive effect of parent-child relationship on sibling relationship in ordinary multi-children families is not applicable in two-child families. Finally, this paper demonstrates the importance of emotional communication in two-child families. In addition, suggestions are given from the perspectives of enhancing the sense of participation in the decision-making of the first child, changing the role of parents and cultivating the dependence of the younger child on the older child.
