I'll lead her away, and try to get her engaged in something else, but as soon as I let down my guard, she is back at Katie. I don't want poor Katie to suffer from this, and I've stepped my supervision up, but I'm having a hard time finding something that will have an effect on the behavior. Is this something I just have to suffer through? She knows gentle touches, and even what they mean as far as a 14 month old is capable. I know when she's being rough with the dog and I tell her to use her gentle touches, she stops and puts her head on him sweetly. If only she would do that with Katie! I posted this on the GD board, but, as usual, it's been pretty well ignored except for a few responses from people that don't have two kids. Bec |
