Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi there, , I guess I'd do it the way you just wrote it. Tell her she takes things differently and that it's not funny! Bottom line, ya know? Tell her if she felt bad or didn't like something, you'd make sure that it was stopped for HER, too. Hope this helps!! Ahhhhh, Laughter................

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 My 7-year-old DS adores his 4-year-old NT brother, or at least he used to. Lately he has lost interest in playing with him, which is causing a whole new set of problems. Now my youngest has begun to do things he knows annoys his brother, just so he can set him off and - by default - get his attention. The result is my oldest loses his temper, chases him, screams at him, and sometimes hits him. I've heard the " boys will be boys " routine, and I know that siblings bug one another, but I'm really concerned about this. I've talked to my 4-year-old about not being a bully, I've talked to my 7-year-old about using his words and telling us when he gets annoyed, I've given them both time outs, I've taken away toys, I've taken away priveleges... I'm running out of ideas. My 7-year-old is pretty tall and strong and my 4-year-old is pretty small. To him it's just a game but I know my oldest takes this seriously and these incidents are getting more frequent. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'm not sure if this will help, but we've had the same problem around here. The only thing I do is stop and separate. If I see something escalating, they get separated to their "naughty spots" for appropriate length of time. When they come out, they MUST say something positive about the other. Does it work? I'm not sure I'll let you know in 10 years.
