My 2.5 year old son is extremely jealous of his 6 mo old brother. He wants to do everything his brother does. Playing in the walker/bouncer, lay in his crib, his carseat, lay on the floor & play with his toys, even makes noises like a baby does. It's not that he doesn't get enough attention, because he probably gets more than my 6 mo old. So what do I do? Do I just ignore him? Do I stop him from doing it?
@bugs039, it's so hard because now he's taking all the toys his brother has and just keeping them so he can't have them, then acts like a baby. I really don't know what to do. Obviously I tell him he needs to share but it doesn't work, he'll go back a minute later & take it again
@rebalouise, Well one of the things I do is always say to my older son" thank you" "good job" I'll ask him to get the wipes or a diaper so he feels included.
Then the three of us will play together. I also tell him he gets to eat pizza 🍕 muffins tacos b/c he's a big boy and his brother is little.
Some days he still gets jealous I don't think that will change but it's worth to try 🌼
