Do not condemn, condemn or punish your child what you think is related to jealousy. Do not make comparisons between children. Family elders should not interfere in conflicts between siblings, if not excessively violent. It would be appropriate to allow brothers and sisters to solve problems themselves. If it is necessary to intervene in their quarrels, it is important to focus on finding solutions together rather than on who is right. "
