  • I wouldn't! I think siblings are important for one another's development. I would take the "issue" as a direct reflection of my parenting skills and try to communicate with him/her as to what the problem is. Then I would set myself as an example, demonstrate more love and patience, and reflect on the end of a day all the love we have between us as a "family" unit and all our little successes. Even if that's an entire day at school and/or day care without incident! Good luck to you.
  • i say yea for a time being, to get the older one in line, u dont want ur younger son takin after the older one.
  • You may need more of the husband time, No.I think something is going on to make him act that way. Have something changed in his life? Do you spend one on one time with them? When a child acts up like that ..most times something is going on with him, so try talking to him and see whats going on.
  • Talk to a child psychiatrist first.
  • Ask your son.
  • No. He has had a significant loss...doesn't ned another. You need professional help to help this child express his anger about what has happened between you and your husband. He is 'acting out'....very typical behaviour for a child of separation...
  • Well, I had a similar issue with my boys. My 8 year old was totally out of control (he is bi-polar) and my other 2 children were practically being ignored because of the time and effort I put in with my 8 year old. It kept getting worse and worse until finally I decided to let my 8 year old go stay with my sister. Things are going well now and my son is doing well with my sister. :o) Separating the boys was not really a big issue and things are working out well!
