[quote=Anonymous]I think you should probably just back off and give it time. Nothing you mentioned sounds particularly shocking. It seems like it's a slightly different relationship than they had before, but it's not necessarily "bad." I would make sure that he isn't mean to her and that you give both of them attention and love, but I don't think I would force anything. If you do, it's going to risk making him turn away from her even more. Sometimes kids get along better and sometimes worse. Maybe this is a difficult age distribution for them because he's getting more into "big kid stuff" and thinks of her as still a little kid. Or maybe it's difficult because she's getting bigger and starting to feel more like a peer. It's hard to really say, but it's okay for siblings to have these waxes and wanes. I would just enforce the rules and show compassion and understanding to both but not force them to spend tons of time together or hug each other, etc.[/quote]
