Fighting

I dont know why but almost every day when my 5 yr old comes home from school all he wants to do is bully on his younger brother that is only 2 are just start fights with him I have talked to him before and have asked him why but he says that my younger sons starts it first. I am so tired of I have even seen him hit his little brother and he hasgot in to trouble to. Yeah I believe that some times my younger son does probaly start the stuff but not ever day. My younger son gets so happy when he comes home from schoolI have even talked to the teacher and she said hes ont like that at school thats one good point of it also he gets really jealous when he is around his grandma and my younger son wants to be around her to.

If you could please give me any adivce it would sure help

Seperate them, And I mean seperate. Not allowed in the same room at the same time, nothing. Tell them no contact, however you can manage it. My kids went through that (8 and 2) and it only took a day of not being allowed to play with, talk to each toehr and they realised that they could not do that. It was really hard, bc they share a room, but it DID only take a day. Then I talked to them BOTH about treating others the way we want to be treated and had a seperate chat with my oldest about how he is TEACHING his sister to act they way she does. If he does not want her to hit him or take his toys, then he needs to show her the nice way to play, w/o hitting and asking nicely. Worked fine, Of course, they still get into it, but not on an everyday, all the time thing. Good luck!!

I know the teacher said he doesn't act like that at school, but is there another student acting that way toward him (like bullying him)? I haven't had to experience this with my own kids yet, but I know from expeience as a teacher that a lot of times when a child becomes aggressive towards his siblings it is a sign he is being bullied by another child. Try talkingyour son to see if this is a possiblity, and if it is, bring it to the attention of the teacher. Many times bullying happens during recess or lunch and the teacher has no idea it's happening. It's just a thought, and could be worth looking into.
