Every bit of advice you've already received here is good advice.
My advice would be to go with the flow. If you have an opportunity to chat casually about something, go for it. Don't get preachy. Remember what it was like for you at that age since it wasn't that long ago. And don't think you have relationship equity when you don't - it takes time to build that and it will change from week to week with kids at those ages. Self-awareness opn your part helps with that.
Big brothers are different from dads. Figure out that difference and it will really help.
