Question

What age must sidlings have there own room?

Answer 1

I don't think sibling of the same sex MUST have their own room at any particular age unless their are special circumstances. I shared a room with my sister the from when she was born until we grew up. I wanted my own room really bad when I was a teenager, but other things came first in my family (braces, medical bills).



If the siblings are of the oposite sex, I think I would start thinking about giving them their own rooms a little before they hit puberty (3rd or 4th grade). You don't want them in the same room when they start hitting puberty years.

Answer 2

Females should have their own seperate room at age 8-9--I think. Some females start puberty around that age and should be entitled to their own space. If they're of the same sex then I think they can share a room 'til they're in high school--unless it causes a problem. Males normally don't have a problem like females sharing space with a brother.

Answer 3

If they are a different sex, then fromt he begining. They need to have there own space from an early age. They are the same sex then when they outgrow the room. It depends on the kids as well. If they do better together then leave it alone. If they are fighting all the time and want to be separate then give them that and have more peace at home.

Answer 4

Does your state have regulations on this issue? In my state same gender siblings can share a room no matter what the age but opposite gender siblings must have their own room after age 5.

Answer 5

If the siblings are opposite gender then I'd say as soon as one of them was old enough to go to school for a full day.



As to if they are the same gender then there is no point at which "must" would be an appropriate term though I think that if the situation is accessible it would be good for the siblings to have their own room around middle school.

Answer 6

If they are the same sex, it shouldn't matter. If they are brother and sister, then I would suggest by the time they start school.



My reasoning is, once in school, the chance of being teased for sharing a room with a brother or sister increases. School children can be cruel and its better to head issues off before they get ahold of them.

Answer 7

Depends. Are they the same gender? If so, I don't see a problem sharing. Different genders? Ours had their own rooms by 10 or 11.

Answer 8

my mom gave me a seperate room at age 6. It was like heaven to have a room of my own

Answer 9

From day one! My mom moved me into my "big girl" room 5 months before my sister was born when I was two. If you have the room do it right a way!

Answer 10

By at least 13 because then you are a new teen and are going to want your own privacy. You are beginning to get into dating and private stuff like that and dont really want other siblings around to bother you and to invade your privacy. So i say 13.

Answer 11

Opposite Sex- as soon as possible



Same Sex- my sister and I wanted to combine our rooms but were never allowed to i have talked to friends and they loved staying with their sister or their brother they said it made them closer even though at times they wanted their own rooms

Answer 12

Whenever possible, opposite sex siblings should get seperate rooms before the older one reaches puberty.

Answer 13

I think as soon as you're 8 years old

Answer 14

7th grade

Answer 15

when they no longer need to be in the crib.
