do not yell at your husband or don't allow him to yell at you in front of the kids?
is your household reflecting respect?

This happens alot with an older sibling. Depending on the age of the older child talking to them to find out why they are hitting and yelling is a good start. Then you can explain that the younger sibling looks up to the older one and let them know how special it is to be a older brother or sister. Hitting or spanking or yelling at them to not yell or hit a sibling just teaches them that hitting is ok. Involve the children in each others activites. What can the older child teach the younger child. Good luck

I had this problem as well. It was so frustrating. I would put him in time out or he would lose out on something for that day. It didn't take long and he stopped completely. I was very grateful for that but then of course I had to go through it with the younger one a few months down the road. And we did the same thing. Seems to work pretty well now when their mad at each other I hear them talking about it and if they can't resolve it they tend to go in their rooms to clam down. Good Luck!

Whenever they hit each other put them in time out. Put them in a minuet for there age and add on minutes if they talk back. That should teach them that it's not funny and if they do it again they get a time out. You may seem like the bad person to them, but when do you seem to be the nice one. That is the only way they can learn there lessons.

The older child is trying to get attention..and it's from you mostly. Make the consequences clear when they hit their little bro/sis. Let them know it's not acceptable behavior and not nice. Punish them by time out..or if they are older ..take away privilges..and stick to it. Let them know you wont tolerate this behavior.

Get an older child to show him who is the boss.

Well without being critical, where has she got this behaviour from? It didnt just happen, she must have copied it?
Sometimes we do things ourselves without being aware of what we are doing. That is exactly why children swear the most awful swear words that would shame many adults, it is because they hear it in the home.
Perhaps you need some help.
