[quote=Anonymous]We have a bigger gap than you. Firstly, you need to keep the younger one out of the older one's way. The more you do that, the more the older one will WANT to spend time with the younger one. My younger ones understood by 3 they were NOT allowed in anyone's bedroom without permission. When the older kids had friends over, they could go say hi for 2-5 minutes, and then I'd take them away. Secondly, you just need to accept that you're not going to have a ton of family activities and time together. I know that's the fantasy, but it's not going to happen that way. Eventually the 4 yr old will mature a bit, and be able to hang with the older one and take direction from them and the older one will mature a bit and be able to direct the younger one in a way they respect.
