Hi, I too have to sons (Venki 8yrs and Sakthi 4yrs). They love each other very much and I found they quarrel very rare :-). If they had one, we did not interfere into the quarrel but we watch to stop if the quarrel turns into fight. I always scold Sakthi (younger one). From the childhood Venki was brought up with full care till Sakthi born. We used to tell our relatives who visited to see new born, "first speak to Venki and then see Sakthi". But considering the ages of ANSH and DIVYANSH this method may not work out. But in my opinion DIVYANSH too be scolded if the mistake was his. Good topic. Thanks

Can you tell which one is starting the quarrel? If you think it is the younger one, then you should still tell him off otherwise he will contnue to do it. Being younger doesn't make him less able to know the difference between right and wrong.

This is the problem with every parents. But I want to suggest that support children only on the basis of issues or situation not on the basis of age because after some time when they understand thing clearly then they can think why mother support me or not support me.

try to let them respect each other.i have kids too, but they love and respect each other,this is important to them from now on. don't just think they are too young to know these. and you should try to tell them who is right whenever they quarrel, don't just scold the elder.this is another way to let your kids grow well. be a wisdom mother, we know it's hard for a normal lady!
