I have tried teaching her the "Nice....gentle...soft" thing while stroking her own face or mine. But she still goes to her newborn sister and pokes her in the eye, hits her, and even sits on her!
Any ideas?

dont listen to lil boys who will prbrably never know what its like to be a GOOD parent. i had mine young and very close together too. you are doing the right thing. like lead her hand over her sister and say easy and such. i tell you what helped the most for me though. i would let him help me alot. like go get mommy a diaper for baby sissy and letting him helo hold her. he was 15 months too when my 2nd came along and i was 17 and i am proud to be a mommy and im sure you are too so dont listen to kids on here talk about stuff they have no clue about!!! take care and good luck i know how stressed you are, ive been there....

If I were you, I'd try to spend time with just the 15 month old for a little while. She's just feeling jealous because she's not the baby no more. Try spending time with her when the baby goes down for a nap. Also, try letting her help in any way possible. Ask her her give her a pacifier if she crys. Show her ways to help her little sister. But I think that giving the older child some attention will help best...even if the laundry goes undone and the dishes pile up in the sink!!! She needs to feel accepted into the family and needs time to adjust to her new role.

oh boy! I havee an eight month old and when she was a newborn my nephew( at the time was around 1 1/2) would come right up to her and smack her in her face! I would look at him with a really surprised look and say" no, you don't do that to the baby", you hav to make nice"! A few times after that he would do it again, but it took about three months, and he finally got the point that the baby was very gentle and needed to be touched softly! Best of luck!

Hard as it is to teach a child this age to think about someone else, the reality is that you must do this. She can be taught to be nice if she is always closely watched when with the baby. Just keep showing her and remember she's still a baby so it wont be too easy. Maybe there is a little jealousy going on there and it might help to get her a dolly that has diapers and a bottle so she can "take care" of her baby while you take care of yours.

You are a teenage mother of TWO, and so very close in age? Face it, you had the second child WAY to quickly!! You didn't give the older child enough time to be the baby!! You are asking her to accept a more mature role WAY before she is ready!
Go on birth control.
By the way, saw your response about being on birth control: a little too late for that isn't it? As for you calling people "*****": it figures that would be the first thing to come to your mind! Nice potty mouth! What a fine example you are setting for your children! Next time open your mind before opening your mouth, instead of your legs!

Hopefully she'll survive her sister and one day come back to do the same to her lol.I had the same problem but I found out a couple years later my daughter came up to her brother and clobbered him then says to him as he's yelling his head off that's for all the times you hit me kicked me and beat up on me. She then calmly walked away. It shocked him as much as it did me lol.

yeah don't let her do it. Grab her hand when she tries to do it and say NO. its not hard. You got kids now learn how to raise them. You don't have to beat them to get them to listen Just tell them what they are doing wrong in a firm voice. and don't do the same thing to her what she does to her sister. The person above me saying that probably beats there kids. You can go to jail for poking your kid in the eye. Don't do it.

Everytime she does something to your little one do the same exact thing to her. She'll understand then that it hurts and she can't do that without something happening to her. Or you can do like I do with my cats and dogs. Keep them in separate parts of the house.
