Jealousy is very normal between brothers and sisters, it even may last to much older age, kids notice every single detail and they feel they are always neglected , my daughters are very jealous of each other, but I always try to give them the time they need, and always talk to them about it

It is normal for the two boys not to get along. The 6 year old is the middle child and don't get enough attention. The 3 year old is the baby in the family and gets all the attention because "he is the baby". If you pick up and cuddle the 3 year old because he is crying and then you do not pick up the 6 year old when he is crying this makes the 6 year old jealous. What you should do is when the 3 year old need attention bring in the 6 year old and give double attention to both. The 9 year old is the oldest and she can help give double love. If you purchase toys make sure you purchase the same identical toy and the same size because the 3 year old will want the big one like his brother. So if you do that everything will be cool. Treat the 3 year old like you treat the 6 year old and then everything will be even.

Ok... the middle child is jealous because the middle child generally feels like they're being "left out"...& they're determined to have more attention... so, they fight for the attention they're wanting/needing... sometimes even feeling that they're starving for it... they CRAVE attention more than the other children.
The youngest child generally thinks they're supposed to have "all" of the attention, because the baby usually does get most of the attention... & the baby is used to having all that attention... so, if the baby sees the others getting attention, they're going to fight with the other child to back them away from getting any.
I hate to put it so bluntly, but it may help get you gain a better understanding.

its normal for siblings to be jealous of one and other. The youngest is the baby and most of the time gets the most attention the oldest can do and the middle child feels stuck.

Normal. Just make sure you treat all three children exactly the same, including the daughter, even if she isn't demanding attention make sure she gets some ;-)

this is VERY normal. Siblings often fight like cats and dogs. show them both lots of love and affection and reward and praise them when they do get along and it will soon pass.
