[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every parenting class for neurodiverse families stipulate to Pick Your Battles. 
Hitting a sibling is usually one of them. So is tons of sibling bullying.

If it happens, the caretaker stops, walks over to the original offender (by now there may be a squabble so simply sending everyone to their rooms empowers the original offender)c gets low and looks them in the eye, tells them we Do Not Hit Others. not at school, not at the playground, not st home.

Then the offender gets a consequence, that affects them. Less screen time for the week, no dessert on Fridays, goes to room no TV. [/quote]

NP here, in a somewhat similar situation as OP and other posters. One variation on this scenario, that sometimes happens in our house is that the younger NT sibling does lightly hits the older ADHD sibling. Then the older sibling takes it up a notch (or 10) by smacking the younger sibling. What is recommended then?  To be honest I’m not sure our responses have always been consistent (working on that), but most recently we did admonish the older adhd child more because they escalated and then some.

Also, OP, good luck to you and sorry to see you’ve gotten so many judgmental posts. I’m used to seeing better on this board. [/quote]

I bet at lot of the people posting on this thread do not have kids with SN. Probably came from hot topics.[/quote]

No, we do have kids with SN.  But it's not an excuse. It means they need to work harder, it doesn't mean we feel sympathy for them or give them pass.[/quote]
