How do I help my son deal with sibling jealousy??

[justtired]

We have been having alot of problems with my 5 yo son, his behaviour has got worse and worse lately. Tonight he has been particularly naughty and was sent to his room, I then decided to go and have another chat with him (ive tried a few times lately and got nowhere) and he has admitted to me that he is very jealous of his younger brother....
I dont think this is an excuse as I can usually tell when he is being truthful or not, he broke his little heart and I have promised him I will sort it tomorrow. However I havent a clue where to start!! Any help or advice would be great!!!

Thanks x

this book siblings without rivalry changed everything for my children.

honestly, it is brilliantly helpful and makes you see things from their perspective.

Thankyou I will definately have a read of that!!! x

Ask him how you can make it better. Ask him what he needs you to do. Might involve special time alone together while the younger one is sleeping or busy or in bed. Play a board game together or bake. Have lots of fun and show him how much you love him. Give lots of attention to him when good and less when bad. Can you give him lots more attention and praise generally while with both kids? He probably just want you to notice him.
