my son 11 yr teases her younger sister of 7 yr very much. it is like fun activity for him. whenever we stop him from watching TV or mobile,he goes to her and start disturbing her. she gets too irritated and start shouting at top of her voice. he always says negative things to her like you won't be able to do this or that. although he is saying jokingly but she doesn't have that much intelligence yet to understand that . this has become a major reason of conflict between me and my son. I have tried to make him understand so many times with love and also with being me angry. all my attempt s are failing and situation is getting worser day by day. please help

hi dr parul goel ! I do understand your situation. u could create situtions wherein they work together like assign roles by asking him to teach younger one ,or clean their drawer or remove plates from dining table together etc. this would give them opportunity to work together and also strengthen their bond. also make sure not to reprimand one in front of other, or say negative things to them . always praise a child for at least attempting..
