I looked up online and asked around

forloveofmyboys by forloveofmyboys Talking(June 2006) (rank 274th)

i am a mother of 2(29mon girl and 15mon boy) my little girl is every parents dream child. my little boy (use to be) on the other hand is very destructive, unruley, and 'NO' is only in his vocabulary if it is coming out of his mouth or in his

actions. this has only been going on for the past month. everytime he eats he always smashes food in his hair and all over him. neither dad nor i can get him to stop. he won't let anyone feed him he has to do it himself. HELP!!!! and the he just walks around for no reason at all fussing and whinning. he doesn't talk yet (a few words uh-oh and puppy, his cuddly, and the occasional mocking). we have tried spanking, time out (but he won't stay), spending more quality time with him one on one, ignoring him, making big deals when he does something good but nothing. he just continous on. also he pulls his own hair out and thinks its funny, bangs his head against doors,windows,etc. and thinks its funny too. we don;t know how to handle him anymore. he use to be so good. now he is only good for about an hour a day and thats at cuddle (bedtime routine) time. i want my precious little boy back. any advice would be very helpful. thanks!!!

Everywhere I looked it said jealousy for these types of problems my oldest son did this as well. There are tons of suggestions like gving him his own doll, a thumbs down didn't work, more individual time with him, just made him want it all the time. Until I came across the one thing that really worked wich was helping me with my other child. He was older and he had to help with a younger child but as I read your request I thought of my situation. maybe he sees the learning of different things, your daughter at more of an advanced level then your son. But making him feel equal in some areas might do the trick. Never comparing capabilities but understanding he sees hears and understands more then you think he does. take a look around and see what he sees. There  might be an answer there. I hope this helps. My sons are 16 months and 26 months almost the same difference as yours. Hope this helps :)

One day they will be very close and he will look out for his big sis it will just take time and patience as a baby he had much of your attention and now he is a little more inderpendant your able to share your time between the two but guess who dose not like it try and be with them both playing family activities drawing them closer rather than focusing on what each individual likes.
