“…One early study documented that first‐born, school‐age siblings in female pairs engaged in the most teaching during naturalistic ongoing interaction at home (Stoneman, Brody, & MacKinnon, ), whereas Mayan children were observed teaching younger siblings about domestic and cultural tasks (e.g., cooking) during play (Maynard, , ; Rabain‐Jamin, Maynard, & Greenfield, ). In a series of studies, Howe and colleagues (; Howe, Adrien, et al., ; Howe, Della Porta, Recchia, & Ross, ) also investigated naturally occurring sibling teaching and children's use of a variety of sophisticated strategies in a short‐term longitudinal study at time 1 (T1; ages 2 and 4) and again at time 2 (T2; ages 4 and 6). These 39 sibling dyads and parents from lower and middle class, English‐speaking, Caucasian, Canadian families were observed in six 90‐minute sessions at each timepoint; families were free to engage in naturalistic ongoing interactions with one another.…”
