Question
What’s going on with my older child bullying?
Answer
My daughter’s older cousin, who is seven months older, has been living with us and has been bullying her since she was a few months old, taking her things. Later, when the cousin started teething, she began to bite her. Whenever the cousin came over, she would give all her toys to the cousin. After a month, when the cousin went to school, she was very happy and learned many words that month, and would call grandpas, grandmas, uncles, aunts when she saw them. But a month later, when the cousin came back, she started biting and pushing her again when adults weren’t looking, which often led to her crying and not wanting to talk. She also didn’t call people anymore. Is this going to have an impact? She’s almost one and a half years old now.
