[quote=Anonymous]OP - my sister and I have the same age difference. We were close as kids but when we were teenagers we went through a bad phase for about 3-4 years and were really nasty to one another. It turned around when my sister went to college and now 20 years on we are closer than ever. We still fight and how but its good. I read some research with suggests that it is often the older child who dictates the tone of the sibling relationship. This is because the younger child frequently looks up to the older one and the older one is more mature and can choose either to be inclusive or exclude. This was true of us. When we went through our bad patch my sister really excluded me. When she was nice to me again it turned around. So i would have a talk with your older child. [/quote]
