[quote=Anonymous]These seem like different situations, calling for different reactions.
[quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
We have tried separating them, offering and doing 1:1 activities with each of them (preplanned, not as a reward) but then the second they are together again it is just not stopped. 
Larla might say "I like that blue pillow". Larlo says "its not blue its tourqois". I state that is a form of blue. He says "she is still wrong" and she ends up in tears. [b] I would say: Larla, it is fine that he doesn't think it's blue, that's just his opinion and you get to have your own opinion.[/b]
Larlo will have Larla play Legos but then she will honestly accidentally break something (because 5) and he will yell and scream at her.  [b]When they start playing, I would say: Larlo, you remember that Larla broke the lego thing last time.  If you guys are playing this together, i do not want to hear one word if something gets broken.  If you complain, I'm going to send you to your room for a while.[/b]
Larlo will be watching a movie in the family room and larla will bring on 10,000 toys and play in there annoying him (despite having 4 other bedrooms, a living room, playroom,a basement and an entire yard to play in).  [b]It's the family room, everyone gets to play in the family room.[/b]

It just never ever ends. If one says white the other demands black. It is exhausting. [/quote][/quote]
