kids

Let me guess when the baby was born she wanted to help and was still so sweet, but as the baby got older she started acting out getting mad over nothing and does not want the baby to be around her very much. My son and daughter are 3 years and 11 months apart and he was sweet loved to help and then it was like he turned into a big meany around the time my daughter started walking. He would throw things at her and take her toys and snacks. Turned out that he was jealous of his sister. He was no longer the baby and she got more of mommies attention because she needed more help. So I made a certain time during the day when it was his sisters nap time and he would have my full attention. I would have him help me do things that I told him the baby was too small to do. I made simple jobs seem like they were very important and that I needed his help. It did not fix things over night, but I noticed that the extra little attention stopped some of the talking back and he became more helpful. I hope this helps some.
