[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your issue here is the relationship between the two boys. Older DS needs to connect with, love and support his little brother. We have similar boys in ages & personalities, but my older DS is the biggest champion for my younger son. Older DS helps ease his way socially so often! Sticks up for him, helps him at playdates and keeps an eye on him socially at the pool, parties etc. Will even run interference if other kids pick on his little brother.

I would consider focusing on building their relationship. Therapy might help but honestly just setting us special “brothers time” and outings would probably help tremendously. [/quote]

They are way past solving this problem with “brother time.”  The older brother makes fun of the younger brother in front of their peers!  That is a very insidious dynamic for both of them.[/quote]
Oh please, which boy wouldn't be embarrassed of such a whiner for a slightly younger brother? Newsflash, all kids that age gossip their siblings to their friends, they also gossip their parents mercilessly. None of this would be an issue if OP wasn't blind to her older son's needs.[/quote]
