A human reading
Jealousy between siblings usually comes from wanting to feel loved. Talking about it honestly and seeking one-on-one time with each person helps heal the feeling of unfairness.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
