Girls, have your children shown signs of jealousy towards their younger siblings? My two-year-old son is acting out terribly—doing all sorts of things he shouldn't. I spend time with him, hug and kiss him, even when my daughter is in my arms, but it’s like he’s completely changed. He’s also eating terribly—leaving food on the table, throwing his plate on his head 🤦‍♀️, and he’s become more irritable. He yells throughout the house if something isn’t right. Is this what they call the two-year-old crisis?

She used to behave that way towards him (when the younger sibling was born, she was 1.5 years old). She would throw toys at him even then. The jealousy still remains today. However, now they play together and are more friends than fighting.

There is no two-year crisis; it's just jealousy. I have a significant age gap between my children, so I haven't experienced such issues.

I'll listen. I understand that my daughter is also feeling jealous, and I realize that jealousy is a natural part of growing up. We just need to get through it. She eats well, but now she's intentionally doing things to provoke me. When I tell her to be quiet so she doesn't wake anyone up, she does the opposite.

Two-year-olds are just like that on their own; there's no need to scold them.

My daughter generally behaved like this at her age.))

Rebegok (4 years old) has also started to cry. I suspect it's because when the little one cries, everyone rushes to comfort him immediately. The older one is copying this behavior so that people will also come to him. Everyone wants attention. Additionally, some children have a very strong sense of ownership.

As experience shows, the older sibling doesn't just want more attention—they want all the attention. However, it's impossible to give all your attention to just one child.

I haven't been able to do more for now. My daughter has gas, and she constantly cries, so I need to spend more time soothing her. But everyone is dancing around the son. After work, my husband spends time with him, and my older son also plays with him. I also comfort my daughter when I can, and sometimes I play with her while she's in my arms.
