When mine (boy and girl similar ages) do that I ask them to take turns i.e. say now is the oldest turn next time they come to sit down its the younger to sit on that aprticular. If it is TV they have to agree on a cartoons they both like or TV remains shut. IF its toys and I know for sure that one of them was playing with it than the other has to return it and ask nicely if he can use it. If I do not know but the toy is of that particular child I remind the other that he has t ask nicely for the toy not just take it etc. It is not easy and it iwill take a while before you all start falling into it etc but you can do it. I suggest you read peaceful parents happy kids by Dr Markham very insightful
