I think there jealous of one and other even the one year old can have mixed up feelings im not sure exactally what you should do though i dont think more time with them will help on the other hand if you seperate them for a while they will probaly find that they miss each other let the them no that you do not approve of that type of behavior.

When do they fight? Is it when you are not giving them enough attention? For example, while you are trying to get housework done, cook meals, have a shower etc.? My children squabble (now 6 and 9) and have done since they were small. I find it helps to get them out of the house when they start to get fractious. Go for a walk even if it is only to the local shop or to the park, if it's raining get on a bus or train or take them out in the car if you have one. Also find out if there are any mother and toddler groups in the area, it sounds like you need to speak to other people in the same boat. Ask your health visitor or ring your local council to find out about activities in your area.
Good luck!

I think the older one is jealous of the younger one. And the younger one knows it. This can excelate to them being rivals when they are a lot older even 40! What you do is don't have favorites. And don't take ones side. Just teach older one that younger one is brother or sister. And give older one as much attention as younger one. ie: quality time when younger one is sleeping. By him a prezzie and say younger one got it him. Encourage hugging and saying I love you. Let the children enjoy a calm happy atmosphere.

if you can watch "supernanny" it is for anyone with small children, there is one point that come's across time and time again and that is ,if the parent is shouting at them all the time they pick up on this behaviour, you use a different tone of voice ,depending on what it is you want from the child . they will fight but not all the time . try and get to see that programme it's great

Try spending some quality time with each of them seperately. Sometimes children just fight to get attention and ussually the attention they are seeking is from their parents! Give them lots of cuddles too!

kids do that Karlie its nothing out of the ordinary but as they get older it will mellow so in the meantime you have to accept it. But if you find its violent or the 3 year old is going to hurt the little chap then get advice

i can't see how a 1 yr old can fight, it's a baby. punish the 3 yr old by taking a toy away or a TV ban or something like that.

They're kids. That's what they do. Try distracting them with something positive when you see them start to get into it, other than that there's not much you can do except let them work it out or seperate them when you see them start to fight.

Accept that they are like everyone else's kids. Anyone who says theri kids don't fight is probably lying.
It's not easy being a parent
