My 2 year old is so soft

Kids learn by example. Defend him and show him how to stand up for himself and he will learn eventually. This would break my heart if I saw my kids being treated like this. My 2 year old is also sensitive so I remind often how to speak up for herself. Until she learns, I’ll happily tell off a little bully. Also, he is TWO… he’s supposed to be soft.
Your partner told you to let you TWO year old toddler be beat up by a SEVEN year old CHILD?! Sorry what!!!!!!! Id be furious Sounds like he’s got issues just as much! I wouldn’t teach him to toughen up per se but I’d intervene every time and reiterate to the other children we don’t snatch/hit as well as ensuring their parents know! No way would I let that happen I hope things improve sadly some other children aren’t taught how to be kind :(
If you know the parents of those kids, definitely should be having words with them. That 7 year old is a massive bully by the sounds of it, picking on a toddler! You should 100% stand up for your child. Sounds like your partner might have been a bit of a bully himself if he thinks letting a 7 year old and a 2 year old batter his own child so he would toughen up 😠 your poor baby was getting hurt and all his dad could do is try and stop you from intervening?! Karma will bite him back. Anyway, definitely metion this to someone. My 7 year old is like that unfortunately 😔 she doesn't really stand up for herself, which im desperately trying to make sure she does. My 2 year old on the other hand, is unstoppable
Exactly me and hubby argued once we was home but some people just don't get it. This all happened when we was at a relative house and the mother said what would u do if it was nursery this will happen. I was like no where is wrong n what happens infront of my eyes I will say something I told the 7 year old off and he laughed in my face and continued to do things to my 2 year old. I told my perents they said I was also like this when I was younger. It just worries me so much.
I'm hoping once he will be in nursery hopefully he will toughen up and stick up for himself
@Kiran the only thing is, there are no 7 year olds at nursery. Nursery wouldn't let children hurt other children, they are there to make sure your child is safe. I would be avoiding those relatives. I would have lost it and wouldn't care if my words hurt anybody. I know it sounds mean, but i probably would have called the 7 year old for being a bully good and proper.
I know that's true. My 2 year old doesn't talk yet. And I just feel for him. He doesn't know what's going on. I said to hubby before this 7 year old hasn't been nice to him in the past but he never ever listens luckily I walked into the room when I did. When I'm anywhere I'm always keep an eye of my 2 year old because he's extremely sensitive. Just worried as I know growing up I lived in fear and wouldn't stand for my self I don't want him doing that
Teach him by example, I think you did right to defend him then your boy learns right from wrong x
Oh my god that’s horrific I’m so sorry 😞 a seven year old hurting a two year old?! Where is this happening?! Can you talk to the parents/staff/childminders? That is just absolutely not acceptable and you don’t need to be told how to feel by your partner. You have your mama instincts and if something feels off or bad, it’s usually because it is. Hoping everything will be okay 🥺✨
