Try to be sensitive to the fact that your cousin might feel self-conscious about themselves around you. Don't flaunt or flash things that you have that they don't -- it's unkind.

QuestionHow do I make my cousin jealous when they're trying to act mature?Community AnswerI totally understand how your feeling. My older cousin used to be the same way around me. It's just because they are getting older and still don't know where they belong. Be a kid or be an adult? When he/she does this, act silly and hang around your other cousins or even adults. Show off your funny side making everyone have fun. She will then break down seeing how much fun the adults and you are having. She will be jealous of you and stop. Then they will start acting like their normal self. If she/he thinks your acting stupid just keep acting that way. Don't worry they will come around. Just remember to be yourself, because people envy that!
