With the liberalization of the birth policy, the two child family structure has become increasingly mainstream. This study explored the impact of various interactions in multi child families on children’s socialization, and focused on the impact of interaction between brothers and sisters in family interaction on children’s socialization through experiments. This paper adopted the method of random sampling survey and 32 families with more children as the test samples. It adopted questionnaire survey and Likert scale research design. The study found that the social development of the two child was closely related to the interaction between its brothers and sisters in a family with many children. In addition, research showed that as a typical way of sibling interaction, competition between two children could to some extent promote the socialization development of the second child.
