[quote=Anonymous]I would give her some leadership roles in the house and also some privileges that come with age, but I would stop the privilege if she isn’t acting like a big kid. I would look for some books about siblings to read with her. Picture books. I would have her draw and write about how she feels when interacting with her sister. I’d also encourage them both to put their feelings into words, and to listen to the other point of view. I’d pop any kid that was mean into a living room chair and set the timer for ten minutes, and the toy would be put away for thirty minutes. She needs to learn empathy, which is very hard at this age, and to be supported while learning to recognize, anticipate, and manage her feelings. And she might need a break from little sister. Maybe a video call with a same-age friend? Little sister is the easiest outlet for all the feelings now, and we all have to remember the stress that the pandemic is having on all kids..[/quote]
