Vishwanathan doesn't know what to do. I know that it's bound to happen between siblings, but in the case of my children it seems a little excessive. It can be exasperating for parents when they are constantly called upon to mediate between warring siblings. You wonder whether your daughter is being too sensitive or your son too mean.
Parents have certain typical ways of reacting in such situations.
Either they lash out at both children in frustration or they give the teaser a tongue-lashing and comfort the teased. But this is not a satisfactory solution. The child who teases should learn that seeing his sibling upset and weeping should not be his idea of entertainment. Tips on dealing with teasing Keep in mind that it is quite natural for teasing to occur between siblings. So there's no point trying to clamp down on it in a Hitlerian fashion.
