I have two little boys. There is a 2yr and 8m age gap. One is currently 5 and the other 2.5. Both are reasonably well behaved and gentle with other children but my god with each other are SO rough. It goes from friendly playing/tickling/wrestling to one of them roaring crying within minutes - usually the younger one. There is a question mark whether the older one is mildly ND in some way as a few things flagged from preschool but no issues so far in primary. He tends to keep to himself but can play nice and gently with other children when he wants to. I tend to think ND isn't an excuse for this kind of behaviour too. The younger one is obviously a toddler so still figuring play out. Today we had to leave soft play as I literally corrected them around 10 times and took the bigger one to sit with me for several minutes on 3 occasions. The younger one then ended up banging his head while they were all over each other. The staff were so lovely but I was genuinely mortified as feel it looks like I have no control over my children. I also feel it's desperately unfair to the younger one and I'm afraid if it continues he might start to dislike his brother. As well as leaving early, the older one lost his TV privileges today. I'm hoping this might teach him there are consequences for his actions and to be fait he has been an angel since. Am I being unreasonable to be so fed up about this or do I just need to accept that thing is all part of parenting small children?? When did others grow out of this? Dare I ask if it's more of a "boy" thing?
