[QUOTE="zba189, post: 375524"] My difficult child is six. His older brother (8) is one of his biggest triggers. He voices the fact that he is very jealous of him. difficult child will call easy child 1 names, push, shove, and ruin things all the while easy child 1 will calmly take it and not stand up for himself (we are working on that). easy child 1 is very athletic, outgoing, and just a happy go lucky kid in general. Because of that and the fact that difficult child can't see the forest for the trees when it comes to all of his wonderful traits it can be like WWIII at times when they play together. We do a ton of separate playtime and a lot of supervised playtime. One of the things that worked well for us was a project that they could only work on together and only when they could get along. If either one of them fought, we put it up. We bought a lego set that interested both of them and then they worked together to build it. It helped my easy child 1 to not be so bossy with difficult child and it helped difficult child to be able to do something with his brother that wasn't with a clear winner or a loser. It took 2 months, but it serves as a visual reminder that together they can accomplish something together. [/QUOTE]
