[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emotionally abused may be an exaggeration but it's the first time your son learned words to fit his feelings. He should not be dealing with brothers picking on him all the time. Put an end to that. And just because little sister wants her way doesn't make her right. He's shared something very painful with you. Listen to him. When you talk to him don't discredit his emotional abuse statement. Just tell him you're so happy he shared with you.[/quote]

We had a good talk today about hurt feelings and abuse. I said it was wrong to give in to the toddler. She ran off with his book earlier and made her give the book back. Toddler cried and had a fit. This is the type of situation where we may have previously let toddler run off and I would have tried to distract or get book after she is tired of it (5-10min). DS seemed satisfied that we took book from toddler and gave it back to DS immediately.

I am going to make an active effort to yell less, especially to DS since I now know how sensitive he is to it.[/quote]

Wow! I'm impressed! Good job mom! (or dad)[/quote]
