When I saw this video, I immediately remembered my two children. I suppose it must be a standard behavior between siblings, that the little one wants to touch, play and handle the older one and that he wants to get away from him.
In the video we see how a poor girl tries for active and passive to prevent her brother, constant where there are, continue touching him. “Don't touchme!” (Do not touch me!), repeat again and again.
The brother, who poor You should not know much about what the calico is going and is taking it as a game, it is still wrong. It even ends up receiving a little push in the head. It doesn't matter, "she is my sister and I want to touch her."
What would you do if you were the parents?
I know, I'm a pooper. A simple video of two children confronting each other and I begin to analyze what the parents' behavior would be (sorry, I can't help it).
In many similar situations I have heard some mothers say to the older sister: "Come on, she doesn't do anything to you, leave her, she just wants to play with you" and they are right, the brother just wants to play with her, however, no you just have to assess what the little one wants, but also what does the older sister want.
In this case, it seems that his only desire is simply to be calm. And that his brother touches him, even if it is to play, does not seem to enter into his fun plans, so what I would do, as a father, is to try to let them solve it in the first instance (as it happens in the video).
After a little while, if the thing is not solved or they start hurting each other, they would intercede on behalf of the older sister, who is entitled to request her release and would say to the little one “leave her, honey, now He wants to play with you. ”
And in that case I would look an alternative so that both could play together or so that the little one could play alone or with me, without disturbing his sister.
But of course, this is what I would do. What would you do? (It is not a matter of vital importance, but it is always pleasant and enriching to discuss these issues).
