14 mo mature hitting!?


About 2 months ago I moved a friend and her 14 mo old daughter in next to me. My friend watches her daughter and my (also 14mo) son during the day while I work. Just about 2 weeks ago, my son have began hitting the little girl. And progressively he has gotten worse nearly sharing. He has been socialized from birth and have never had a problem sharing, but now he won't permit this little girl touch ANYTHING. Not even her own sippy cup. We tell him "no no. Share your toys", find other toys for him to play with, sit down and play one on one beside him to distract him. Yet nothing seems to be working. He is bigger and stronger than this little girl and he is becoming especially violent when taking toys away from her. He has other been so sweet and loving. This happened so swift I don't know how to stop it! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answers:    yes he was always be a social child. but he has never shared his living with a child right? he can't control that she is here. but he can have control by staking his claim on things he consider his. u need to receive down on his level and explain the consequences of his actions. he requests to have some form of punishment that fits his age. do not get to upset in the order of it. and some things u really need to work things out amongst themselves. every child goes through this faze surrounded by their lives. don't beat yourself up about it.
Its clear that he be ruling the place with all the love and immediately a new member have come to snatch that. Moreover you are not with him whereas her mother is with her to offer all the love.
he is trying to save at least possible the last thing he owns... his toys.

A little bit of following his psychology and moving along his steps while you inculcate him to accomodate his friends will help.

Try making him miss the little girl for some time and make him perceive the miss... he will change his attitude the next time he see her.
This sounds like some jealousy. He be once the king of the home now he has to hold someone else on board. He really does not know what is happening. Understand some toys are his and he does not call for to share everything. How would you feel someone come and use what you love?. You have to consent to him know that you love him and he does not have to share everything. Spend some alone time with him and bequeath him some extra extra TLC. This is obviously an attention problem, you have to offer the girl lots of attention when he does this, the opposite effect will happen later what he wnated. So he'll resort to fits, tantrums, ect. Just ignore him and pay attention to the little girl. Praise the honest behaviors like sharing. Soon he'll get the message and adjust.
i dont know but fix it hurried.or he'll grow up and be like my bro maybe you should discipline him? hes not 40 years hoary hes a baby!
just hit him on the hand and tell him no. he'll attain the message When he hits her, slap his hand firmly - not hard, purely firm. When he cries, ask him how it felt to be hit.
When he takes a toy away from her, cart one from him.
Show him how it feels. He's also at the age that you could put him in a 1 to 1.5 minute time out.
Also, view what television shows you watch when he's around - freshly because he's not actively watching doesn't mean he's not picking up on them.
Another question i would own is - where is his dad? Does he spend time with him? would he be getting the uncontrolled tendencies there? Could he be getting hurt somewhere?
I revulsion to bring up these possibilities because I know they are hard to think going on for, but sometimes you have to consider them.
Good luck.
