[quote=Anonymous]My two girls are young (6 and 8) but their personalities seem to clash so much. I want to try and foster a good relationship between them but am not sure how.

My older daughter has some mild anxiety and sensitivities that my younger daughter doesn’t have. Older DD has very close group of friends, is less outgoing and more introspective.

Younger DD is very outgoing, makes friends easily and definitely more extroverted.

Unfortunately for right now they share a room and that seems to have made it worse rather than better. DD1 is very organized and neat. DD2 is unorganized and a hoarder.

Basically they are polar opposites.

There are glimpses when they play nicely together and seem to genuinely enjoy each other but in general they seem to rub each other the wrong way.

Weirdly they both get along well with their younger brother. And that causes competition on which one he prefers at one time or another.

How do I help them realize that their sister relationship is something to value and cherish? I am very very close with my sister and I would love to imagine that my girls will have a similar relationship when they get older. [/quote]
