My son, who is 3, seems to always want to bully his younger sister (20 months old). He doesn’t want to share with her. He pushes her around. We have to keep a constant eye on him so he won’t harm her. He used to bite her before. At least he seems to have outgrown that.
Thanks.

Create a reward chart for your son. Divide the day into 4 to 5 parts and for every part of the day which he does not do the bad behavior he gets a sticker. Do not take stickers away and do not make a big deal when he does not earn the sticker.
Do praise him for every sticker he earns and encourage him to try even harder to do better each day.
Set a goal that whne he earns so many stickers he gets a reward. We actually allow the kids to select a few small items ($5 or so each) to put in a treasure box and when he reaches the goal he gets to go to the box a pick a prize.
As he does better and better move the number of stickers up it takes to earn the prize.
This is a great way to encourage good behaviors and eliminate bad ones.

Does the phrase “Spare the rod and spoil the child” mean anything to you?
Rewarding a child for good behavior is fine but punishment for bad behavior is also good.
