[quote=Anonymous]Wait til your son is older. Unfortunately in my experience the younger they are the easier they are to deal with... that’s why old ladies coo over little kids. A couple things — could it be sibling jealousy? Tends to kick in more after the youngest is 1 and more mobile. How’s your bond apart from this — do you get one on one time that’s for play, not discipline or doing stuff/going places? 7 is a moody and sensitive age. They are wanting to be their own person. Talk to your child and see if she is feeling “bossed” and ask her how she would like you to talk to her in those moments. This is information gathering and gives her a sense of agency. Also make clear to her your side — “thanks for telling me that, I hear you. Could I tell you something about my feelings? When you say X I feel sad, “bossed” etc. I would like you to communicate with more respect which means eye contact and polite words.” Basically you are now managing a child with an ego. [/quote]
