[quote=Anonymous]We have a similar gap/age range. We've been very clear from the get-go that we expect positive and loving interactions between them. In general the eldest is kind and nurturing, not a teaser. But any kind of dispute or interaction that can lead to a fight gets a quick reminder of what's appropriate and loving behavior (hugs, fun games, older one reading to younger, sharing/ respecting boundaries) is praised, encouraged, and prompted. As they get older I will definitely let them work it out themselves more. But it's helped to make family culture clear now, and be proactive about establishing positive expectations between the two of them. Our parents were pretty laissez-faire and it led to some deep rifts and resentments. I don't want that for our kids.[/quote]
