Jeremy's Family Relationships

Study Notes

Jeremy is the youngest member of his family.
He has two older brothers and one older sister.
The age difference between Jeremy and his siblings is at least seven years.
Jeremy's siblings have always treated him with extra care because of their age difference.
Initially, this made Jeremy feel distant from his siblings as they seemed like parental figures to him.
As Jeremy grew older, he came to appreciate the love and care his siblings showed him.
