2yr old spiteful behaviour

[yummychoccycake]

Hi,

I have 3 children, DS1, DS2 and DD1.

Both my boys are gentle, loving and not at all spiteful or even rough with DD1, however she keeps picking on DS2, pinching, biting etc.

I would understand if he was being like that with her, but hes not.

I feel so sorry for him and im struggling to know what to do, so please any advice would be appreciated!

Thankyou

It is normal behaviour for that age and I would not stress as to its reasons. You just say a firm no when she does it and give the ds attention and ignore her. Then when she is being "nice", give her lots of attention.

A child of two does not have the brain develoment to be spiteful.
