HELP Almost 2 Year Old Is Too Passive......

He's not a wuss! He's not even 2! I have one of each, a really agressive child and a calmer one who is almost 2 as well. Needless to say my older one can bully the little one. Did you stick up for him when you saw this happening at the store? I'm not saying that to be rude but if he doesn't see you take action he might not even know how to take action himself. My little one now imitates me when he gets picked on. I hear my little one say to my older one (who is only 3) Go to your room! That's not nice!

Here's where you're probably not going to like the advice that he'll grow out of it, but here it is. My daughter (who is now 3 1/2) had the same problem. She let our friends kids walk all over her, and now she's the complete opposite! It started with her friends taking toys from her, to which her response would be walking up to me and just looking at me (like I was going to fix it) so I basically told her that whenever this happened, she was to say please and ask for it back. It worked for us, and now she reminds her friends that if they want one of her toys, they have to ask her!
I'm sure that your son will become more assertive as he gets a little older. I'm pretty sure he's just trying to find where he fits with other kids.
Good luck!

I think you need to teach him what to do and say. Kids dont know how to deal with situations automatically. good luck!

I would advise you to let it go and tell him what a good and big boy he is to not be bullied and explain to him that not all children are like that. That is the type of behaviour I would encourage - that passive behaviour. I think you are blessed to have such a sweet boy. I hope you encourage him and know he will grow up to be THE best kid. My 15 yeor old was the same way and he is the sweetest smartest kindest 15 year old. Excellent grades well adjusted goes to youth group - no problems or issues. :) Sounds like you have a great son!
