5 year old DD has attachment disorder, ptsd, the works and is increasingly aggressive. It always typically has been directed at me with some aggression to 3 year old DS. DS has recently started backing down and trying to appease his sister so now her focus has shifted primarily to him. Using the word to describe the action rather than the child but it's absolutely vicious. Biting, hitting, headbutting. Very very little provocation and often the provocation didn't even actually happen.
My go to way of dealing with it would to keep them seperate but there is only one of me and this is proving really challenging. Partially because ds loves his sister and doesn't understand. Partly because her issues means really she needs time in rather than to be isolated but I can't do that with 3 year old who also needs the attention for having been hurt.
I don't know How to go about it?
