I am not a parent however i would suggest you spenind quality time with them together where they have to work together and spend exual balence of time with you. Then on a regular basis.. Probably to start with daily try to give each of them some one on one time..even if its only 15 minutes its 15 minutes of THEIR time. They want mommy time so give them one on one time...maybe draw a picture together or doing homework together or something along the lines...Most likely if they know that they are garenteed there alone time with Mommy they will be opt to being good and cooperate other times.

Do an activity that involves all three of you, but also make sure that each girl gets quality alone time with just you. If they have your full attention just for thirty minutes then maybe they wont feel the need to compete when everyone is together.

Schedule a time that belongs to each of them, when you do an activity just with them that they've picked out. Have it be predictable and something they can count on and look forward to. Set the other child up with something quiet they can do on their own during that time. If you can, give them each a half hour to an hour out of your day. If that's impossible, alternate days. If they can count on your undivided attention on a regular basis, it may help. You can also try to give them each some private time to chat with you in bed right before they go to sleep.

I make sure that I take at least 20 Min. with each of my children seperately every day. I listen and ask questions. Some questions I ask are
What is happening at school?
How is homework going?
If they feel they get enough attention at home?
and so on. It sounds like they just need to feel special individually. Try taking them one on one. Good Luck!

Set aside some time each week that you spend with just each of them alone. Then set aside some time where you do stuff together as a family. This way everyone gets their own time with you and there is also family time.

Play a boad game with them that is age-appropriate for both of them. If they are both young, Candyland is great. It helps with learning to good winner/loser, counting, and colors. If that doesn't work, try setting a timer for maybe 10 minutes and do something with one, and when the timer goes off do something with the other, like reading, coloring, etc.

You need to schedule alone time w/ each child. Read to them separately, color w/ them separately, bathe them separately. When the other tries to interupt, let her know that this is child1's turn...and she will be next.

Give them equal attention.
