DS is generally v polite, pre-school have no issues with him etc but I'm finding it hard to guide him effectively and would love some tips. For some reason, he can sometimes take against MIL & will refuse to say goodbye, even sometimes saying 'I'm not talking to her!' There's lots of 'go away/he can't play with my toys etc' with little brother but to be fair DS2 is going through a hitting & pulling hair phase so I can see where that's coming from. With a little friend who is a year younger, he still struggles to share when we are in a home environment (again, this isn't an issue at school that I know of). It's more the occasional rudeness, with MIL for example, that I struggle with. I tend to pull him over, tell him words hurt & people don't want to play with you if you are mean because unkind words hurt...all of which I fear is falling on deaf ears at the moment. Any suggestions?
