DS1 is 3.4 and DS2 is 1.10. They're active, sociable funny wee boys who've hit all their milestones so far and don't appear to have any SEN. They're at daycare 3 days a week and DS1 is starting preschool in September.
They have fought over toys and books for months, and that's okay. We've developed a range of tactics and ways of sharing or diverting attention or splitting time between toys. This isn't really the issue.
This last month or so they've started play wrestling and fighting. They both giggle and laugh and scream while doing it, which I think means they're enjoying themselves. The problem is it ends up very quickly in biting and scratching. They both don't seem in the least bit bothered by this, only occasionally does one of them end up in tears, but they're covered in bites and scratches, and they both get so hyped up and manic by all the activity.
I just don't know how to stop the wrestling, or manage it so they don't physically hurt each other. I honestly don't even know if I should be stopping it?! I remember playfighting as a child with my brother, but don't recall the biting! Anyone with any words of advice or support?????
