I was hoping there was some advice out there that I can pout to good use. I feel that on most days my difficult child does very well, meaning we are able to somewhat control his surroundings and limit his outbursts and anxiety.
What I am struggling with the most is my easy child has NO empathy toward his little brother. He acts like his brother is deliberately being difficult. I have talked to him a lot about the struggles my difficult child has, how to interact with him so that is doesn't agitate him, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
There are times that they get along great but my difficult child can have a mood change in a split second and want/need space, my easy child take offense to him not wanting to play and then a fight ensues!!!
Any advice!!!!
