My two were closer in age but we did something I read on here I believe?! I had them sit face to face on the floor and hold hands until they could be nice to each other. And I walked away and let them work it out. I do think it is a vital lesson that they learn early...'to work it out' without parental intervention. I will still at times tell them to go to their won rooms until they can play nicely together...but all I have to say is either you work it out right now or I will and neither of will like my way (rooms.)
One other thing is I do all DD (7) to go into her own room and close the door once in a while...and DS (5) is not allowed in. I feel she needs her alone time and since my DS is very active(SPD and probably ADHD)..she gets tired of him.
Good luck.
