My 2 1/2 year old son loves his 11 month old sister dearly. But he can
get a bit overly aggressive in the hugs and play with her. His hugs
involve knock downs, dragging her, sitting on her. My daughter for good
reason cries quite a bit from the rough treatment. We basically have to
watch their interactions pretty closely to ensure there is no rough
play. I can't say one or the other gets more attention, but I am sure
there is some sibling rivalry potential there. I know 2 year olds are
not the easiest to reason with and we have told him time and time again,
given him time outs as well and it still continues. Is this just a
phase we have to supervise the two of them through, or does anyone have
any suggestions as to how to help the situation out. It would be nice
if one of the parents can get up to toss something in the trash, get a
drink of water without having to come back to lots of screaming and
crying.
Thanks
