I tried to listen closely for it, but may have missed it. I typically will take the desired object gently back from the 2 year old and say “I can’t let you take things from your brother. He is using that right now.” Or “you can have a turn when he is done.” (We don’t in-force sharing, since we wouldn’t want another adult taking something we are in the middle of using ) Should I just allow whoever ends up with it to have the desired object? I’ve been trying to guard my younger one’s focus the way I did when his brother was a baby (which obviously was easier with a first born and no older siblings). I do the same for the older one if the baby takes something from him, to allow his space to be respected as well. The older one can of course advocate for himself, and will even say “I’m using that.” Or in some cases, it results in the older one pushing the baby out of the way, which I know is probably just a phase, and I encourage but don’t force him to check on his brother afterwards while I model the same. Should I keep riding it out in this manner, or is there something you would do differently? Am I too involved in their conflicts? Thanks for all your incredible work! You are such a key guide in our home!!

I understand both of their views and don’t take sides but there doesn’t seem much of an opportunity for sportscasting because the reaction is strong and quick. I don’t mind the struggle but I know where it is going and my 2 yo is always physically hurt.
