[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry. Begin keeping a log of what seems to trigger these events and the details around them. Consider having him seen for food allergy testing. It does affect some kids like this.

You must make a safety plan for your younger child. Lock up all sharp objects, and don’t leave him in a room with the older boy. You will need to sit with your husband and plan your mornings so that the kids are not alone for even a minute. You might need to get up very early to shower and be ready before you get the kids up. Your son trying to get your attention in the morning means he wants to connect, but doesn’t know how. Can you get an indoor swing for him to use to get sensory issues met? Look up sensory regulation strategies for home.

The younger boy probably needs therapy, too. You might consider family therapy to help you manage this.  Try to take each child one on one with a parent for time alone each weekend.

And if he is mean to the little brother tell him next time he will have to give up one of his toys for a day for his brother to have, because he owes him restitution for the bullying. Explain this clearly ahead of time and remind him. You can post family rules on the fridge and include that. [/quote]
