Hi.we are having a few issues with our 2 year old and resentment towards his 8 month old brother.At the start he was brilliant with him and still is a lot of the time.However,the last month or two he has been quite mean to his little brother,pinching,pushing him over...especially if he thinks you're not looking!He's normally a very loving boy so its quite upsetting to see him like this as its quite out of character. I don't think it helps that our youngest still has his cot in our room and quite often ends up in my bed in the morning.I try to have one on one time with my eldest so he doesn't feel left out.Generally I use the naughty step if he is mean to his little brother.Is this behaviour a common phase?Any advice appreciated!

My older child can be absolutely horrible at times to his little sister! And my older child is also usually a very kind, loving child to us. I do think things will get better for you when your 2 year old gets a bit older. Also, it does have the advantage that your younger one will more than likely grow up to be quite a tough, assertive child due to all of the practice he has had defending himself with his older brother! It has certainly worked out that way in our case

i think it is a common issue to get over. especially with boys, dont wanna be sexist, but thats true. children tend to be mean somehow, im always questioning why...
