    5 year old boy purposely will antagonize 8 year old (both boys) 8year old will yell, hit, slap, 5 year old. Talked to both kids. 5 year old says I annoy other sibling “because he hits me” and 8 year old says “I hit him because he makes me upset on purpose” it’s an extremely bad habit that is new but daily. I’m about to lose my mind.

    Siblings will argue with each other that's normal however parents should establish boundaries early on while children are young let your children know what you expect their behavior to be like. Healthy communication is the key to a good relationship.

    I introduced a talking stick that ANYONE COULD USE if they wanted to be heard. There were rules to respect the stick, it was not a toy or used to hit and only the person with the stick could talk. We used this with neighbor kids also. Often times it was not about the toy or what the kids were fighting looked like they were fighting about. It was something else. I found this as a way to empower my kids to be heard. Everyone got their say. We all learned why some behaviors occurred. We also learned the consequences of the fighting or other results of particular behaviors. Kids were able to express the pain experienced.

    What about this scenario..... 5 year old girl favours one twin boy over the other..... the one that always gets left out (ezra) he is a little more aggressive and social. The one she favours is shy and quiet. I feel like working on ezra will help this but its upsetting when I see our daughter drawing pictures blatantly leaving ezra completely out or of to the side of pictures. It makes me sad and I dont know how to go about handling this.

    Dr. Paul,
    I have a small pod of children for virtual learning in my home, I did this so my daughter and other children would not miss out on social emotional development by not being around their peers. I have an 8 year old female student who is very smart and spunky; the issue is that she antagonizes the other children if they don't do what she wants, she's not openly aggressive or rude because she knows that's not acceptable. I have tried to help her correct the behaviour but she denies it, she smiles and says she didn't say anything or do anything wrong. She understands kindness and consideration for others, she reads books about it and watches videos....just seems that she doesn't understand it in a real life situation and that it also must come from her. We have circle time to check in with each other and learn how each one is feeling and what we like or don't like. What I've gathered is that, she used to be in an environment where she probably learned some skills to help her survive. Such skills probably served her in the situation she used to be in (foster home) but are no longer serving her now. I've tried getting advise from others on how to approach this and most tell me that I shouldn't worry about it because that's the parent's responsibility. That doesn't sit well with me because she spends a lot of time with me and I feel that I SHOULD help her or at least, I want to. I know this is a very long post, I couldn't find any other way of explaining what's going on...there's so much more but help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Guys, I need your opinion. My sister is so possessive, protective and obsessive towards her things especially if it's new things like her ipad. She would yelled, got mad like crazy and curse me if I accidentally grazed her ipad with my finger. Sometimes, she even scold me for sitting near her ipad or iPhone as she thought that I would sit on top of it. But, she act all unapologetic when she drop my phone to the floor. We got into fight constantly because of this issue. Is normal for her to behave like this?

    I’m curious. When children are in stage 1 and are unwilling to cooperate when the fight is broken up, how do you facilitate an understanding of correlation between limiting or restricting access to something they enjoy. Do I only use that as a consequence if the thing they enjoy came into play? For example, if my children fight over a shared toy, and I restrict access to that toy versus, my kids fighting over something that belongs to only one child, who has the right to refuse sharing or giving up that toy, resulting in the offending child losing access to something he/she enjoys that is not the item in question. I guess what I am trying to ask, is, if it needs to correlate, what kind of consequence would be suitable in the latter example, and if it is restricting access to something unrelated, how do you correlate the offense to the consequence? I hope I made sense.

    • @LiveOnPurposeTV
