Older children babysitting siblings is not unheard of. However, it may not be the correct thing to do, no matter how convenient!
Apparently, letting older siblings take care of their younger siblings is not such a great idea after all. According to this, a Russian psychologist has written about how parents should avoid making their older kids take such a big responsibility at an early age as it hampers their childhood.
Lesser the age difference between the kids, worse it is to let the elder sibling take care of the younger one. I remember when I was a kid, for almost a week my parents let my elder brother babysit me. He was seven years elder to me. We weren’t very pally then. However, one day we decided to have some fun together. We put some soap powder all across our living room and blocked all water outlets. Then we pour a couple of buckets full of water on the floor and started skating around on the soapy floor. Yes. Bad idea.
