Help and advice needed.

edited January 2012 in Parenting
I need help! I just caught my normally chilled out 5 yr old son pinning his 7wk old brother down by his arms and putting all his weight into his hands. My back was turned for 2sec I was in the same room!!! After I shouted baillie cried longer than his baby brother did. I could tell he felt super guilty. What am I meant to do??its completly out of character.

  • It may have been showing he saw on tv, he is at that age where they mimic alot of things they see. He could have seen it anywhere. I would just sit him down and ask him, don't drill him though bc you could scare him (5 y/o). Then explain why things like that are not acceptable. It is a normal reaction that you yelled. Yelling seems to be a quicker reaction bc it gets the attention faster :) so don't be hard on yourself.
  • I don't think he'll do it again if he felt that bad.
