DC won't stop hitting younger sib on head after concucussion

[Anonymous]

I hope this is a troll post.

A 9 year old should definitely understand and comply with concussion protocols.

Your 9 year old has a serious mental disorder that you are going to have to address, first with a neuropsychological evaluation or other psychiatric assessment, then with the appropriate therapies that the psychiatrist or psychologist recommends.

Right now, your priority is to keep your second child absolutely safe. They cannot be within hitting distance of each other at any point, day or night.

What??? Before the concussion, it was ok to hit the younger one on the head?

Separate them.

You need to physically separate the 9 year old ASAP because he’s a real danger to your 2 year old, and make sure to scare him s***less. This is no laughing matter as we’re talking serious lifelong brain injuries that could result from your 9 year old’s behavior.

If you have a trusted friend, relative send the 9 year old to stay with them.

The 9 y/o is special needs, yes? I cannot imagine a typical kid that age hitting a toddler. My older daughter is only 6, not especially mature, and would never.

This will work to protect your 2 year old and make the 9 year old feel the severity of their actions. You are taking it seriously and their behavior was so bad they had to be removed from the family for a bit, that would scare a lot of kids into understanding how badly they behaved. Right now he doubts the seriousness of a concussion, like those food allergy doubters, and he's testing boundaries. Show him he crossed the boundary.

Throwing away toys is a bizarre punishment for this too.

Tell him if he hits the 2yo again he will need to research concussions and brain injuries in children and write you a report on it.

A 9 yo ignoring medical directions to avoid even small knocks to the head of a toddler sibling will totally get right on writing a report as a punishment./S

I would remove the older child from the house to stay with relatives until it is safe to return. If that is not possible, I would spank the child who is trying to kill the sibling. I would make sure he understood that physical punishment is coming if there are any more attempts on the life of the sibling.

WTF. Do you always blow everything up like this? I hope you don't have kids.

You are such an idiot.

Wow. Sounds like he’s a brat and has never been disciplined. Mom to six and none would ever do that at the big age of 9.

Usual sibling issues? I had a sibling 7 years younger and I basically helped raise her. Sibling issues, including fighting, are for kids much closer in age (I had those, too and the dynamic was very different because it was a "fair fight").

Hitting an injured toddler is like sociopath type stuff. Eval now.

You and the other parent of those kids need parenting classes ASAP

If this is real, this is an emergency situation and the kids need to be separated while the toddler is vulnerable. Then you speak to a medical professional immediately. This is not normal behavior.
