Making an older child feel important is vital. He or she may feel that his importance is fading as more attention are put into the new sibling. A balance of attention is needed, however tough it can be.

I really enjoy reading the points in your post. They are very beneficial for myself. I plan to use some of your points in my teaching class in the near future. I also have a similar post on sibling rivalry but i do believe your points are far more detailed than what i have here. http://www.child-central.com/Sibling-Rivalry.html I think the point on managing anger is very true to a very large extent. "Do not be constantly angry at your kids; else, they will also be angry at each other. Anger feeds on itself. Learn to manage your anger." This reminded me of the time when i spanked my 3 year old out of my frustrations. After some time, she would say things like "when her baby sister grows up, she would spank her the same way i did to her! " At the age of 3, saying this kind of things really scares me. I had since learned to control my own anger but its always a learning process. thanks for sharing those valuable points Judy

As an older sibling, I believe you have the right and the obligation to call his attention about his wrongdoings so that he can improve; to assert yourself and demand for respect; and to serve as a role model of give behavior to your little brother.

Also, alert your mom and dad about about your little brother’s misbehaviors; they could surely help you improve your relationship with your little brother in due time. Am curious: how young is your brother?

My little brother is sometimes annoying, he gets mad at me sometimes, he hates girls and older girls, does not get along with my friends including my best friend, likes a certain thing and hates it the next day or so, thinks certain school subject is boring and stupid, shows no respect towards adults, hates certain foods, has a mind of his own, always have things his way, and bullies people on television including singers. He says negative things about singers on t.v. When it comes to female singers, he starts to say his negative opinion about them. He’ll say “She is a bad singer or she is ugly or bad opinions about their looks. Can you help me with this problem? I just want this to end.

As usual, another great advice. You write from the heart and you speak from the perspective of someone who has experienced these things and applied these techniques. Again, thank you very much.
