Hi all, hoping for some advice with my two DC. DS is 3, DD is 11 months. DD is increasingly getting into everything, exploring and playing with toys. DS gets very frustrated when she tries to play with him. I stop her snatching anything (and him taking things from her) and try and give him space to play alone, however as that involves taking her away and distracting her, he always just stops what he's doing and wants to come over to see what we are doing.
He doesnt like her getting in his space and interrupting what he is doing, but sees no problem doing the same to her. When she gets too close he is pushing her with hands and feet. We dont tolerate this but I feel our approach is inconsistent. Have people tried things like a time out spot or any other method that works to address the bad behaviour? I understand his frustrations, and hope as DD gets older it will get easier, but I want to put a stop to any pushing and shoving. His speech is behind so it is a struggle to have a conversation with him about it. Thanks for any advice or experience
