Sibling rivalry

[ShillyShallySherbet]

Can anyone share any tips on how to manage this? My two DDs (7&9) are often jealous/fighting over what the other one has. I want to know how to deal with this so it doesn’t get worse as they grow up. Or is it just unavoidable.

Don't compare them
Don't punish them both for another's mistakes
Makes sure both their feelings and heard and validated
Try and do things with them differently
Don't force them to do the same things together
Encourage independence of each other
Do nice things with them together too

Remember you're only human and you can't get it right all the time and none of us will

Whenever my kids fight over a certain toy, said toy gets taken away until then can play with it nicely together, or fighting during a game they get told to go to separate rooms to calm down until they can play nicely together, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all, is a ‘rule’ in our house.
you can’t force them to play nicely together but you can stop them from fighting when they play by separating them or taking away the thing they are fighting over, eventually they learn not to fight else the fun is over for both of them xx

Thank you, they don’t fight so much as sulk and get really upset. For example if they’re both given a present by a visiting relative or friend and one of thinks the other one has got a better present than them, the one who feels they have the lesser gift goes away and sulks. It’s really awkward. I’m not sure how to handle it.
