I think you just have to ride it out until they’re old enough to understand they don’t have to be squabbling all the time

It’s healthy to have a little rivalry

It happens in almost every family especially when they are close in ages

it is perfectly normal and healthy!

I think its normal and all you can do is not make too much of a big deal about it.

My two year old and four year old are at each other all the time! Drives me insane!

Lots of time outs !!

I have the smae problem with my 5 and 4 year old.
But when ones not home the other one misses them..
I think it will proberly last for ever..

My kids seem to fight one minute, and are besties the next minute. I just let them go and they sort their problems out

My kids fight all the time – I am used to it

I actually think its just kids – my two fight often. People just tell me its normal

my 2 girls are always fighting too, it drives me crazy, but i remember my sister and i at the same age, we were the same, i figured it is just a stage they have to go through.

maybe find out what they are fighting about and maybe talking and finding out why they are acting that way with each other communication is the key

i think it is what kids do they will grow out of it

Mine do the same at 5 and 3 and have no idea to solve this and wonder if i fought with my sister like they do

Not looking forward to this problem, so far our girls have mostly been the best of friends

I have. 6 kids 4 of them boys 6 7 8 and 9 they are exactly the same don’t fight with other kids but with each other it’s a war most of the time they are fine but little things like who sits where who gets what. It’s never ending the fights over the silliest things but agree its all part of life with siblings I often tell my kids to treat each other like they treat their school friends and that they wouldn’t hit them my boys do martial arts their master tAlks to them a lot about that sort of stuff it’s kinda helping

Be patient and give yourself space when you need it, sometimes you need to refocus so you can cope, I give both my boys attention together and separately, I try a lot of sharing games and taking turns, but in the end sibiling rivalry is a part of family life.

It is just a time thing. positive equal reinforcement for the both of them is a must and acknowledging each ones individual achievements is a must. Perhaps they could find an activity that they both have in common in order to create some togetherness

Mine alternate between being best of friends and fighting like there is no tomorrow. I try to give them all attention, keep them busy and provide them with plenty of opportunities, but siblings will always fight as they are so comfortable with each other and know they can express themselves.
