I went and got the 123 Magic book and have been applying their methods for 4 years now and if you are consistent it will work. I also figured out that there are certain activities they do together and they never fight when they are busy doing those. So I encourage those activities. My kids are 4 years apart and my daughter is the older one. I explain to my son all the time that everyone is entitled to some alone time and girls seem to need it more than boys. So my solutions was to tell my daughter to take 30 minutes to play with my son and don't fight and then she can retreat to her room and do what she wants to do. And then I will play Uno or something else with my son to distract him from the fact that his sister is over playing with her little brother. Compromising is what is most important, I think, when it comes to sibling rivalry , and you can teach them how through helping them solve problems in the beginning and then letting them work it out between themselves. And they will!!! I hope this helped and remember that it is never to late to make a change and try something new! I too have 2 children that like to fight.
