Help! 6 year always pesters younger brother.


Recommended Posts

I think DS2 resorts to screaming because even when he tries to tell DS1 to stop because he doesn't like it, DS1 ignores him and keeps doing it. I don't know if DS1 is trying to be mean, because they generally love to play together. DS1 doesn't seem to understand that when his little brother screams, he should stop flinging the blanket at him, trying to drag him to another room, or ordering him around. (He seems to think it is his job to make DS2 obey when I give him a chore.)

Again, are you sure you're not talking about my kids? ;) My oldest doesn't seem to get "if he's screaming that means you STOP!" either. And of course, as soon as I separate them or put ds5.5 in time-out, ds3.5 wants to be with him and he cries when I keep them apart for a few minutes. :001_rolleyes:

 

ETA: Sorry, I'm really not any help. Just thought you'd like to know you're not alone.

No help, but these are my kids too. I have to stop in the middle of correcting DD a lot to send DS1 to timeout because he isn't in charge of correcting her. Doesn't help the next time though.

 

If they get bad I do resort to making them play separately which always seems one of mean, but works most of the time.
