It's normal for older children to act unkindly towards siblings who they perceive as threats.
This behavior is often driven by competition for parental attention and validation.

Separate Feelings from Behavior
Separate feelings from behavior, emphasizing that all feelings are valid, but some behaviors are unacceptable.
Visual aids, like pointing to different hands, can help children understand this concept.

Create a Safe Space for Negative Feelings
Create a safe space for the child to express negative feelings about their sibling without judgment or punishment.
This allows the child to release pent-up emotions and reduces the likelihood of outbursts.
