I was in the kitchen making mac and cheese for my four year old and her friend. While I was doing that Makenzie my daughter took the baby from his walker while bella makenzies friend played a song on the piano [she's a prodegy, she played Fur Elise and she is four] . I looked over worried and told makenzie to put him down and she said "one sec" I kept an eye on him untill she put him down, then I looked the other way to pour the mac and cheese into there bowels when Oliver [my baby] started screaming like NO baby has ever screamed before. I ran over to him and his nose started bleeeding and had a scratch on his fore head that was bleeding too. My daughter wont't tell me what happed and Bella is too shy to talk to me. WHAT SHOULD I DO???????

First, make sure the baby is okay. Then take a deep breath and sit your daughter down and explain that you won't be mad, but you NEED to know what happened. Then do your best NOT to get mad, no matter what. She probably accidentally bopped his face on some furniture or something like that, and feels bad about it. I know these things can happen in the blink of an eye. When I was 10, I was watching my little brother (Dad was outside or something) and Alec (my brother) was 1 1/2. He walked into his bedroom for a second, then next thing I know, he comes running out, screaming, and has a bloody lip. I felt SOOOOOO bad, and it had happened so fast, I was so upset for letting him get hurt on my watch.

You should calmly set her down and explain to her that she is not in trouble, that she can tell you anything, anytime. You really need to know what happened with Oliver so that you can doctor him and make sure he's ok. Tell her that's the responsible thing and that since she is the big sister you need her help to take care of her little brother. When she tells you, give her a big hug (no matter how upset you may be) and thank her for telling you. Do not punish her, or she will never confide in you again. I did this with my children, and while they are almost grown, they tell me most everything, good and bad. It's a great feeling to be a parent and be a confidant that can help them in their problems, but you can only help them if they feel comfortable coming to you.
Hugs from one mom to another.

I think you should contact a child physiologist about this one. Feels like someone is expressing early symptoms of aggressive behavior.

tell her how important that it is that she tells you the truth and that she wont get in trouble (dont yell at her or punish her!). The truth and your sons health are more important then that!

take something away from her that she values until she tells the truth. i usually tell my kids they won't be in trouble if they tell me the truth.
