Oh I feel your pain! I agree with Kristina. Praise every little good thing they do for/to each other. Also I bring in Heavenly Father A LOT. I remind them that they need to show Heavenly Father that they can be kind, that works the best believe it or not. I also remind my 2 younger ones that Heavenly Father saved them to go together because they were such best friends. I would venture to say the same about your two.
And if there is any light at the end of the tunnel, my brother and I fought like CRAZY growing up. Once I was out of high school, we became very close.

We talk about being kind and good friends all day ...

We talk about being kind and good friends all day long.

I use kind rocks as a reward when Andrew is kind (and he uses them to earn other things)... and right now I have a gazillion other things I try.

Nothing works perfectly. I pray a lot. :) I praise every little kind thing Andrew does. And try and have a lot of fun together and not ignore them too much. They always tend to get fighting the most when I am ignoring them.

My favorite moments are when they are chasing each other around the house giggling. I like to take mental snapshots. The moments are gone too quickly.
