Rough child in the family

[Jellybeans20]

Very rough 1 year old in the extended family circle. Is it normal for parents to allow their child to be rough to the extent that other children bleed? Some older nieces and nephews have been left with scars due to a very rough 1 year old.
I understand 1 year olds are very young and they do sometimes unintentionally get a bit rough or bite. However, I find this excessive and think people shouldn't be bleeding. Have any of you experienced this and how did you deal with it as a parent of the 1 year old? How would you deal with it as the parent of the victim?
Any particular strategies to help?

Thank you for your feedback really appreciate it.

Avoid the child is the only thing you can do.

@Selfsettling3 so true. thanks

My advice is stop wrapping kids in cotton wool. A one year old can't be held accountable or reprimanded the same way an older child can. I'm sure they're bleeding from a scst h or nosebleed, it's hardly like they're seriously hurt by a one year old. Just either keep an eye and tell one year old no or go have a cuppa and leave your kids be.

The parent of the victim needs to realise it is a baby. What nonsense.

We had close friends with one of these. We kept a low profile with the child for a year or two (saw my friend, her mum) in the evenings alone etc. Child grew out of it, related to poor language. Have to say she’s quite a spikey 6 year old now, but nothing like before.

We have this with a young niece. She is rough and thinks it funny to attack my older one and steel their stuff. My children started to hate seeing her they were humiliated and couldn't retaliate. As the older child's parent I have to step in so that my children know they are just as important.

Of course the baby is only 1 and you can’t discipline a young baby. But you can parent them and prevent them hurting other children, distract them or move them away etc. It’s not ok to allow your child to cause another child to bleed, no matter how old they are.

As the parent of the victim I’d avoid the family as much as possible!

I think it depends whether this is a 13 or a 23 month-old one year old.
At 13 months, just avoid them - that is still a baby figuring out what their hands can do.
At 23 months, they should be able to understand being told not to do something.

Saying that, they are still very small. I don't see how they can be causing scars. Just tell your children to move away when things get rough.

Avoid them, hard when it’s a family get together but I would be inclined to stop going to places or events they are attending. Perhaps one day the parents will realise they actually need to start parenting.

A baby can still be told no. My 9 month old knows that word. She knows she will be told no when she bites her brother.

I would avoid them or start telling the 1yo no.
