Old Dominion Heather Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 My ds 8 got annoyed with his little brother 2 and knocked his head into the table leg making the little guy cry but causing no permanent damage. The little guy was climbing onto his chair to sit next to his brother (not the same chair). For what it is worth, ds is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. This is the third time this morning he has done something that he knows is either not allowed, mean or rude.:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Obviously, he must not have gotten enough sleep since he's so cranky. LOL. Tell him that, and put him in his room for an hour-long nap. That ought to fix him. Good luck. I can sympathize. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When mine get weird like that, it's usually because they are tired and going back to bed is punishment enough (and they usually come back out a bit more rested). I hope he comes to his senses soon!

mcconnellboys Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I agree, sounds like nap time, Regena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I put her in her room for a L.O.N.G. time-out. Too little sleep. Her writing assignment was frustrating her and she took it out on little bro...simply unacceptable. For you ds, sounds like a nap is in order :) For my dd11 (who should have better self-control), I told her she wouldn't be able to play her final bball game if her behavior didn't improve. I have no doubt her behavior will be stellar throughout today and tomorrow:) I can sympathize...a nap, some time to blow off some steam outside, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yep, what they said. It's time for big brother to go back to bed. One other thought, does he could be getting a cold or some other virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 As Lynn suggested below, he could easily be catching a virus. His little brother has been sick. Naps all around I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yep, all of the above. Mine would get sent to bed for a nap, assuming they're too tired to function at the moment and an understanding that they are possibly coming down with a cold or something.

angela in ohio Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 He needs practice loving his brother, so he should play whatever the 2 yo wants for an hour, then make him a snack and sing him a song. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'd gather him to me, give him lots of hugs, make sure that he understood that he had a responsibility to control himself when he was in a bad mood, and ask him how I could help him gain that control: some time on his own, a nap, a walk...

j.griff Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 TOTALLY OT, but I keep seeing this subject line and hearing a song instead "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey! I know that song!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.griff Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 LOL, just for the record, I am NOT condoning that as a punishment fitting this "crime", LOL ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
