Although parental supervision is associated with reduced risk of injury to young children, supervision by older siblings has been shown to increase this risk. The current study, conducted in Guelph, Canada, explored how this differential risk of injury may arise. It compares the supervision behaviors of mothers to those of their older children when each was the designated supervisor of a young child, shown on a videotape to engage in no risk, risk, and rule violation behaviors in a home situation. The mothers and older child supervisors were told to imagine the toddler on the videotape was the young child in their own family, and to stop the tape and speak to the child whenever they would in real life. Results indicated that supervisees were allowed to engage in more risk behaviors when supervised by older siblings than by mothers. Sibling supervisors reacted to risk behaviors with more prohibitions, whereas mothers adopted a teaching orientation and gave more explanations and directions in response to risk behaviors by the supervisee. Implications for injury prevention and directions for future research are discussed.
