[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really glad you posted OP. I am in the same boat with my 2.5 year old and 10 month old. DD is so rough with her sister and the JL Unruffled parenting is NOT working. I’m trying to keep a better eye on them now and stop things before they escalate. Yesterday I separated them with a baby gate. 2.5 was mad about it but I told her until I was assured they could play together gently and kindly, they needed to stay away from each other. I also have been taking away the toys that have been used as weapons. Kind of meh on the time outs as they haven’t seemed to work that well. Part of the problem is my 10 month old is really strong and a hair puller. Sigh.

There’s a new Daniel Tiger that has a song and it goes “Stop. Stop. Stop. It’s okay to be mad. It’s not okay to hurt someone.” We’ve been talking about that and it’s helping a little. You have my sympathies.[/quote]

+1, although I'm one of the big time out proponents. We also use the daniel tiger song, 'when you get so angry that you want to roar, take a deep breath and count to 4, 1, 2, 3, 4" [/quote]
