Sibling Rivalry: How To Deal With It.
By David Rolin-5744
Parents get tired of the bickering, teasing, competing, and ongoing provocation between their children that's always going on. They can't understand why their children won't stay off each other's case, get out of each other's way, leave each other alone, and just be friends.
The answer is "the children do." Fighting is not a sign of children not getting along.

for how to deal with conflict. The more similarity there is between your children - same sex, close in age, similar interests - the more sibling conflict over dominance and differentiation there is likely to be. The major exception to this is identical twins for which similarity creates an unusual intimacy. They seem to enjoy sharing a single identity between them. The more alike they are, the closer they feel. For other siblings, however, similarity only increases conflict by increasing the need to win competition and establish individuality. To reduce some of this need for conflict from inadequate diversity (or excessive similarity), parents can encourage: Separate social circles for siblings, Separate interests and activities for siblings, Separate goals and future directions for siblings, Separate times with parents, Attendance at separate schools, And joint activities that both siblings enjoy doing together. The more diversity between siblings, they less they have to fight to differentiate from one another and contest dominance between them.
