Help me Please!

I have a 5 year old, about to be 6, daughter. She is very smart and does know right from wrong. I gave birth 2 months ago to my son.  My daughter says things to him like" I will sweeze your neck til you can't breath" or she will point her fingers like a gun and make shooting sounds at him.  Then today she did something and made his nose bleed.  The baby thinks she is the bee's knees, he loves to laugh and talk with her, and most of the time she plays along.  I know she is jealouse, she is a very clingy child and now someone else is taking up her time.  I have a older daughter who is 8, so it's not like she has been the only one.  Help me before something very wrong happens!!!!!!!!!!

How does the eight year old behave towards the 5 year old is she kind to her are there any jealousy issues between them as she could have learned some of it. It is best to supervise well as I am sure you do whilst this phase runs its course .Most children do go through some jealousy and if you think about it, its tough when a new baby comes along and gets more attention. Make sure you are giving both older children one to one time , get Dad helping with games and fun, make them aware that they are still as special as baby is , I have no doubt they have seen other family making a big fuss of the new boy, walk in their shoes ...
