[quote=Anonymous]My boys are 8 and 12 -- so the same age gap. They are best buds but they fight a lot. It seems to come and go in phases -- how much they fight. When it starts getting bad, I try to make a point of getting them away from each other awhile. I think the issue is often that the oldest has outgrown some of the things his little brother is into. I think it would be helpful if the oldest could play with friends his own age more while also making sure the youngest doesn't feel left out (by letting him play with his friends or going on outings with me or DH). I do think sibling fighting is more pronounced with same-sex siblings. And, I think with boys the fighting tends to get more physical. [/quote]
