my kids are 2 years apart, and I found that having the eldest help with the baby as much as he was capable of made him proud to have some responsibility, as well as helped make him sensitive to the needs of others. We had to take care not to ignore him because she was crying, but now-days, he loves his sister, and is rather protective of her even with my wife and I. He's 9 now, she's 7 and while they fight about some things, they generally play well together and get on just fine.
