Is it a normal sibling thing for a 10 year old to do mean things to a one year old? Like taking toys away from the baby and "playing with them" to make her want it and then purposely not let her get it back making her cry. Saying mean things like shut up and getting an attitude over anything having to do with the baby. Teasing her with food. Part of me thinks it's harmless but at the same time I can't stand to see my baby get treated like this by her favorite person. Would y'all let your ten year olds treat a baby like that? Or correct them

I would definitely correct them it kinda sounds like jealousy

@dankerson I think as baby gets older they'll pick up on that negative energy and start to act like that as well especially if it's coming from an older sibling that they look up to

He is probably jealous. I'd correct it. My 9 yr old doesn't treat my 1 yr old this way.

It's her older sister. Do you have any suggestions on what we can say to her. She's really sensitive which is why I'm in shock that she is acting like this to a baby

I really don't I never had to worry about it. When I brought her home I always told him she's smaller and to be easy with her. I'd sit down and talk to her for sure maybe punish her when she does something mean.

My sister and I are 6 years apart and I was absolutely horrible to her. I used to be an only child so it was a rough adjustment I guess

I have older siblings but they didn't live with me so I was basically an only child the whole time. What do you think could have been said or shown to you back then that would have helped you and your sisters relationship?

I think maybe just make sure you give your older daughter bonding time. Make her feel special when you can. Get her involved with the baby so she can take on a helping role instead of rivalry hopefully. Not sure if that helps

it was honestly the first couple years but once she was walking and talking I remember we became really close. We still are
