Tracey

by Tracey
(Ft Lauderdale, FL)

My 3 year old son is very aggressive toward my 1 year old son. It's to the point that I can't leave them alone for 1 minute. He pushes, hits, sits on him, pulls his hair, and scratches him. I thought it was just sibling jealousy and I figured it would go away a couple months after my younger son was born, but it's not getting any better. Does anyone have any suggestions to help with this issue?

I know how you feel. Your sensory child is seeking his sensory needs, that's what I'm thinking. Our 3 year old does that to our 2 yr old daughter. When I see it, I pick him up and take him to our family room where we have set up his therapy activities. I will let him crash or give him sensory input.

See if your child needs his needs met when he does this. Good luck

I would buy a Flip Camera and record him when he IS getting along with the baby. Even if it is for a short time. I would then edit out any bad behavior he makes during the recording. This is very user friendly. Then you can show him the movie of how nice he acts and what a good brother he is. I also used a doll before my son was born that I would hold and allow him to hold. We would practice being gentle to the doll and things like that. I don't know if this will help you, but it is just an idea.
