What has happened to my younger child? She is becoming such a bully to her big sis. From tugging toys away to clouting her in the head with a toy bowling pin. I hope it is just a phase that she is going through. I cannot imagine having to go down to her school in the future because "your child punched another child today".
Ironically enough her sister refuses to fight back. Maybe it has been ingrained in her that she should be gentle with the baby. Or maybe she is a wuss. I don't know. But she is definitely more delicate than her baby sis. Needs more of a white glove approach. She is the dainty, girly type, while her younger sister is a rough and tumble tom boy type. Different personalities yes, but no excuse for the aggressive behavior that has become increasingly common.
For the most part the girls are great friends. They hug each other in the mornings or whenever one would come home from wherever, usually it is the older one who comes home. They play together everyday and share a bed. One will not stay in bed without the other. I hope they remain this way as they grow up but I am not unrealistic. I know that siblings do fight from time to time. For now, all I can do is hope that with lots of patient, stern, reminders, my little ruffian will learn to be nicer to her big sister.
