HELP older sibling struggles/resents

pobb

Hi there

Anyone out there got any tips/advice for sharing with siblings.

My son is almost 12 and my daughter is 5.

My son is really struggling with his relationship with his younger sister he she can be  aggressive and tells him regularly that she hates him doesn't love him etc.

He's such a placid boy and very sensitive but recently he is becoming more frustrated and angry with her and is wanting to physical hurt her. 

Also I worry that he is becoming isolated he spends alot of time in his bedroom on the xbox and when he does venture out gets set upon by madam.

I'm a single parent and not sure how best to deal with these situations??

Help anyone?

  • Hi there.

    I have an 11 year old boy with Aspergers and a (nearly) 14 year old son and a 7 year old daughter without.

    My older son has always struggled with the middle one. He gets very fed up with his behaviour and can be really short tempered with him and very critical. He's also extremely competitive and can't bear it when the middle one tries to compete. We've always talked to him about M's aspergers and tried to appeal to his generally good nature, to get him to give M some leeway. He has really struggled with it though. I think things have improved a bit recently, which is a relief. One of the reasons why may be that we watched the Newsround special on Autism, which you can watch on UTube. He seemed to get somthing from that.

    I think M's younger sister just accepts that he is different. She's also watched the video and hasn't really commented on it. They're actually about the same, emotionally speaking and sometimes they get on & sometimes they don't.

    Hope the video helps!
