I am following this thread with great interest since I have a DS5 who is a DYS and a DD4 who seems to be following in her brother's footsteps. Right now the two of them fight so much with each other. At times I am so frustrated that they can't seem to get along.

I know a lot of the fighting occurs when they are vying for attention. My son is very academic while his sister has great artistic and physical talents. DH and I try to give each their own attention and focus on their individual talents but it does get tough at times.

I think I need to set up more collaborative opportunities for them. The only thing they seem to agree on and work together doing right now is excluding DS2. Poor kid. Always being shut out of rooms. smile
