A Baby Who Teases
Any advice on how to handle a 17 month old who teases his older brother?
Wesley knocks Devin’s toy creation’s down while smiling…seems like he’s doing it on purpose, is that even possible for a baby to do?
Advice is welcomed.

Happy Birthday Linda!!! my 11 month old does that to his older sister too and I just tell him don’t do that, be sweet or uh oh in a stern voice so that at least every time he hears it he will know when he is being naughty and he stops right away and gives me a charming smile ha

Wesley has been doing that to Ally. But I realized that the first few times he tried and got such an amazing response (high pitch screaming) that he almost just does it for kicks to show that he has a little power. I have been encouraging Alison to ignore him and just move away and when he sees that the game wasn’t as fun anymore he usually goes to find a new game.
Worked for today…we’ll see what new tricks tomorrow brings…

What I’ve done with my children is try and distract them with something else. If Wesley is determined to knock something down, perhaps try building something with him to knock down- but a different set of toys and make sure he knows he can knock down the blocks but not the duplo etc.
My kids love it.

Whatever, Angel.
My advice is um… there’s no remedy? I’m just speaking as a reformed (I hope) teaser. I loved the reaction, I think, but also, your brain just thinks naughty and good children are begging to have their graces tried. Sorry, Linda.
