If it's older kids as in teenagers, separate them and give them each their own room. This alone has turned things around to a complete 180. They are so close now while before I had to physically stop them from killing each other, they have the scars to prove it. If you don't have the space then put up a hanging curtain to divide the room, seriously. They need to feel in charge of their own space and not feel threatened by the other.
As for the younger ones, I just make sure to give them all plenty of affection and attention and lots of toys to share together. That's pretty much it.

That's pretty much it. | my teens don't all want a separate room, it makes them feel lonely. I guess it comes down to respecting their wants and needs (as in all things in motherhood) - presumably this helps them learn to love and respect each other.
