Hi everyone, bit of a long winded post here. I have a 16 month old daughter and my friends son is 1. Ever since my daughter has been born I’ve taken her to baby groups, so she’s had the chance to socialise. I’ve always taught her the ‘gentle hands’ rule. She is now very good at being gentle and this is what I’m having difficulty with. I know babies are babies and they’re still very little, but whenever my friends son is around my daughter he always ends up hurting her and alls my daughter will do is stand there and let him do it. She doesn’t run away or try to push him out of her personal space. Intentional or not, I’m not sure with him being so small still. He’s very ‘grabby’ and likes to pull on my daughters hair and face especially. She already has one small scar off him and today looks like there’s going to be another. I do watch them very closely, but sometimes things just happen so quickly. I’m not sure what to do in this situation as they do love being together, when said child isn’t trying to claw at my daughter. The mother doesn’t discipline at all and doesn’t enforce the ‘gentle hands’ technique as I do and I don’t want to feel as though I’m parenting for her. No bashing please, I’m just looking for some advice. Thank you in advance x
