I thought I had more time till i got these kinda reports.

Apparently yesterday at day care, J.J was over by some toys. He pushed them all off the shelf and then started playing with them. A little boy came over (older then J.J) and picked up a toy. J.J then pushed the little boy and took the toy back and the little boy started crying.

How is my 9 month old already going through the "mine" stage



I really thought we would go through the biting thing before the pushing thing. *sigh*

I think its just going to happen, even with the best of kids. I have worked in day cares and its just sometimes a phase kids go through, they have to learn to share. Sharing is something that is taught and learned, not that comes naturally. I would just work with him on sharing. Don't let it bum you out, if you try to correct it now he will be fine with sharing in no time.

He shares with us just fine! He'll hand us toys and we'll hand them back to him and life is great.

He is stubborn like his mommy and daddy (a quality i did not want him to have!)

Oh yuck I hate situations like that. But they happen.. it's just something they have to learn!

Well, this happens with all kids. But I want to know what they expect you to do about it? He's not around other children when he's home. And he's sharing just fine with you and his dad so I don't see what you're supposed to do.

They were just telling us. I don't think they expect us to do anything. He is in day care full time (even though i only work 2 days a week) so that he has that interaction with other children because there are no children in my family near his age (not yet anyway, my nephew is only 3 months old).

It just sucks that my kid is already being a bully. I had a "talk" with him last night about that. :-p

[CandaceDianne]

That is tough since he shares fine with you. What did the school do to correct it? He MAY be a little young for this, but I have heard getting a book could help with different behavior? Maybe find a book that shows small children sharing with their friends? I dunno, just a suggestion.

I wish I had so great advice for this but I don't. When London (Angela's baby) was over Landen was taking toys from him and also trying to smash him with a pillow! I was so embarrassed. Not so much about Landen's behavior because I knew Angela and the other ladies know he is just a little boy and that's what they do. But I was just so unprepared and didn't know how to react to him being such a brat! Poor little London just wanted to chew on some cars!

THEY GROW UP TOO FAST!

You can't do anything, he's just learning by example. You can't blame a 9 month old for making an older child cry. I would say the older child doesn't know how to ask and/or be around babies ;-)
