And I'm not a psychologist, but most of my parenting ideas have come from observing families around me. One thing I noticed as a kid, was that those of my friends who had siblings were always closer friends with those siblings in families where the parents didn't 'swoop'. I don't have any 'study' to back me up - but i plan to (at least mostly) take your husband's approach here too. In my experience, it seems to be a good thing for their relationship - teaches them how to solve their problems with each other.
