DD,7, has been unkind to DS1,9, all of the holiday. She ignores him, says hurtful things, acts disgusted at mealtimes, won't play with him. It starts from the moment she wakes up and goes on all day.
I have said that if she continues to hurt his feelings, at the end of each day I will take away one of her soft toys, forever (she has dozens). I will give her a fair warning each day, and I won't take away her dearly-beloved-extra-special-ones (although I haven't told her that).
I don't know what to do tbh, and she's starting to worry me. This has gone on for months and months and is getting worse. Tonight she said she wants to know "what it feels like to be a bully".
I have never used the sad emoticon before....it must be bad.
