So 2 year old and newly walking just turned 1 year old. Youngest just wants to do what big bro is doing and hug/cuddle/touch him, and big bro wants the little one not to touch any of his stuff (and everything is "his"). I can't really leave them for five seconds without the little one being pushed or hit and it's driving me nuts! The oldest isn't at the point where he can understand "the talk" and although he knows pushing and hitting is bad he can't stop himself because he's still at the impulsive stage. And yes sometimes he targets little bro on purpose for example runs after him to push him or "accidentally" kicks him in play.
I just feel like the days are so negative and I'm sad about the amount of telling offs my oldest is getting. We do have nice times as well, plenty of one to one time when we can, and we praise praise praise the good things but it's just so hard! And yes I make a point of telling the little on "no, no hitting/pulling hair" etc when he's annoying his brother.
Somebody tell me it gets better soon please!
