[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, if he is smiling while his brother cries in pain, he’s more in control of his actions than you think. If he was truly just being impulsive/out of control, he’d be upset, not smiling. He’s enjoying seeing his brother in pain. [/quote] No… you are interpreting his behavior as if he were an adult. He is 3 years old. He’s not enjoying the situation, he is flooded with shame, an overwhelming and uncomfortable emotion that he does not know is how to deal with. [/quote] Well, I’ve been around lots of 3 year olds, including my own kids at that age, & I disagree. Kids that age can absolutely enjoy getting a reaction out of their siblings. People don’t tend to smile when they feel ashamed. [/quote]
