I don't have an answer for you, but if you do find one, please let me know. I have 4 children ages 16, 14, 10 and 3. The 3 older are all boys, the youngest then being a girl. Our family situation is a liitle different. We have a your's, mine and ours thing going on. The oldest is mine, the two middle are my husbands from a previous marriage (we have custody and I think of them as my own - have had the 10 yr old since he was 1) and then the 3 yr old is ours together. At first the two older boys fought ALL the time. It sucked but ended up workinig itself out, and now they get along quite well. They still have their moments though. The 10 yr old has pretty much started fighting with everyone ever since our daughter was born. I understand it is jealousy issues, but it is really getting old. When all the attention is poured on him life is grand. When it isn't, it has a magnitude of last years hurricanes.

if this is between your kids, you might want to schedule equal time with them alone. Make sure that you schedule it! mark the calender. "Bobby time" one day, then "Suzie time" the next.
If it is you and a sibling that are squabbling, try to write a list of your siblings good qualities, then add as many "fun" memories you have of time together. Then, make a list of your OWN good qualities. What are the differences? Are there any similar ones? You may actually have a lot in common with the sibling. If not, remember that everyone is different, even in the same family!!

Is it between you and your bro/sis? If so what you can do is sit down and talk about this hatred face-to-face. Explain that you love them and don't want to argue with them. Say you're sorry. You never know someday you may need to have surgery and may need a donor and if so, then you're definately gonna need you sibling to help you out. Would you really want to see your sibling die?

You can't stop it. I have a brother like that. My mother and her sister, my father and his brother have the same problem. I gues it is inevitable. The bible even mentions it! You can only do your best to be the mature one. And hope the sibling can learn from it. Talking about can help, keep your cool :)

Try to look at it from everyone's point of view and realize that no matter what you are different and that sibling isn't going to change just because you think it's best for them.
That and cookies and milk. No one fights over cookies and milk!

The flower remedy "Holly" which you find in your local healthfood store. Odorless tasteless, a few drops placed in drinking water (I do it secretly) semms to greatly reduce tensions. You don't have to keep using it, but once and a while you might need a booster. (Works on grouchy husbands too)

i have seen that if the age difference between kids is more (more than 5-6 years), they will not act like rivals

Or you can pass out the knives and see which one wins! Just kidding. Leave it be. It will go away by itself.
