The way in which the personal characteristics of both the mother and her children influence the quality of maternal care and relationships with the peers is also carefully compared and delineated. What is most original and striking about this book is the examination of sibling group relationships and the description of the sextuplets' early innate characteristics and interactions in early childhood through both psychological testing and infant observations and then shows how specific characteristics and interactions persist through early adult life. Sextuplets is essential reading for many professionals involved in child development studies including doctors, teachers, psychologists, psychotherapists and health visitor. -- (01/01/2009)
