I can only tell you what I would do. Tell them no fighting. If it happened they would both get paddled.

My son is 7 his sister is 9 and they fight from the time they get up till the time they go to bed with brief pauses in between to eat, take a bath and that is about it. They have been spanked, put in time out grounded and it doesn't matter they fight. My daughter can be laying in the floor doing a puzzle and he will walk by and kick at her just to irritate and it starts again BUT they can fight each other but no one else had better touch them or hurt them, if my daughter goes to a friends for a sleepover she has to take her brothers pillow and leave him hers so they won't be lonely. It is only normal for siblings to fight especially when close in age. Around here we finally started ignoring them as long as it isn't getting physical and then we split them up. Good luck.

I have no clue but my brother and I fight all the time*I'm 13 and my brother is 12*. We get our parents so worked up because sometimes we fight over the stupedest things like he has more soda then me or I get the computer more while he gets the tv more then me. If you come up with a way please tell me I'm sure my mom would love to hear it.
One of my friends though their parents did a penny jar. It started off with 20 pennies and every fight they had they took a penny away. But everytime they played together without fighting they got 2. Try that. Although it didn't work with my brother and I.

Put them both in timeout with their noses on the bathroom wall( in separate rooms of course) I have two boys and I absolutely do not tolerate fighting. They do fight of course but I shut it down so fast. They play really well together because they don't want to sit in the bathroom. I know the nose on the wall sounds old fashion but it works well for me. I give them two chances and the third time they are done. If consistent this works well.

Oh silly mommy!....They will fight until the day they die!! Or you do...which ever comes first!!! I have 4 children and I don't know when the house is EVER peaceful!! The 16 yr old (she) fights with the 14 yr old(He) fights with the 5 yr old...they all argue with the almost 3 yr old...the 3 yr old pounds on the 5 yr old...it's a vicious cycle!!! I'm almost 42 and I still fight with my sister...actually I've stopped talking to her all together...SO...all you can do...is let them resolve it and hopefully they will stop...some parents will try to stop this...I let my older two fight now...cause it gets their frustrations out and about 20 minutes after they are done...they are doing something together and getting along!!!

I read an article a few months ago (Newsweek??) that sibling squabbles actually help children learn social skills...especially with those of the opposite sex. I remind myself of that fact every day when my kids are yelling at each other......

there's no way out, trust me. Only when they get to, like, sophomore in high school will it cool down. I'm the oldest in my family and i have a little brother(12) and sister(8). It NEVER stops with them
