My 16 month old has begun hitting and pushing. He does it with a big smile and laugh and thinks it's really funny. He's not doing it out of anger, and, in fact, it's a fine way to play/roughhouse with me and DH (he's not hurting or trying to hurt). But his older sister -- age 4.5 -- hates it, cries and yells, and pushes and hits back, which of course isn't okay. Other than redirecting, is there any way to teach our 16 month old essentially to leave his sister alone?
