[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Party aside, your older son needs professional counseling as soon as possible. He had demonstrated a concerning lack of empathy and this kind of personality disorder will only become more ingrained the older he gets. If he is saying horrible things to older children about his own brother, you have to imagine he’s doing the same to other children at school. This needs to be addressed right away. [/b]

You and DH have done the right thing with correcting him when he takes these jabs at your younger son. When he says “well, it’s the truth!” your response is “No, Larlo, that is your perception. And your perception is unkind and inaccurate, end of story.”

This is ridiculously alarmist and over the top.  Good grief.

Older brother not nice to younger brother who is different than other kids.  Film at 11.  [/quote]

DP here. It’s not alarmist. What older brother is doing, encouraging other kids to make fun of his awkward little brother as he leads by example, is NOT normal. OP said several times that older brother is outgoing and popular. Together with a lack of empathy for your own brother? This is how narcissistic personality disorder is born. Put a stop to it now, OP.

This!
Family therapy- Stat.
Therapy will help sort out lack of empathy for older boy
Teach younger kid social skills and help parents not appear to favor the younger one because they have a professional who is helping the younger one with the social awkwardness and it’s not the parents focus[/quote]
