Since harriets been born, my 3 year old charlie as started really playing up and misbehaving i no its more then likely due to him wanting attention and adjusting to his new little sister but im at a proper loss of what to do?? Iv involved him with everything i do with the baby? He helps me do her nappies, bathe her, pick her clothes out, feed her and we even got him a buggy board so he feels like hes helping push her about? Me and rob both spend 1 on 1 time with him and make cakes and draw with him yet it still doesnt seem enough? Any other mammas on here going through or been through something similar have any advice or tips for me?
Thank you @mummagordon il try my best to stick to what i say and stay firm with him just hope its a phase hes going through hes normally so well behaved x
I found that continuing to involve them but also having disapline is a key factor as well so they know that Evan thou there is a new baby the same with s expected from them and just keep Remington them that there a big boy/girl and can do so much were the baby is growing and that they have to teach baby how to do things xx
@sara-lou86 i feel the same way i feel like i spend all day telling him off and make a big deal over good behaviour hoping hel behave better but it just doesnt work 🙁 il keep doing what i do and just hope he calms down a bit x
Same here. Morgan's behaviour is up & down at times. All you can do is what you are. I think it's just something they have to get through over time. Also children push boundaries with their behaviour regardless if it's to do with siblings. Time out used to help with Morgan but it's wearing off now. I try to praise him as much as possible, as I found I was spending all day telling him off. He was just wanting my attention, regardless if it was in a negative way. So he would do something naughty just to get my attention. So some things I ignore. Then when he does something nice I make a big deal about it which encourages him to do it again. It's definitely a tough one!
It sounds like it is babes they are aware and f the change and can sense it in you so they try and push there limits and see how far they can go kids are so much smarter then they are given credit for xxxx
