Lee-Bowens family

Hi all. As I mentioned before I am new to unschooling
and wanting to give things a different course of
action. My son (12) has a habit of teasing
(unrelentingly) his sister (5). This has been going on
for the last 2 years that he has been home from
school. Of course for the last 2 years we have not
been unschooling, and my son and I have suffered in
our relationship because of the situation. It is
always that he's the "bad one" because he's the
teaser, and she is "the victim" because she is at the
receiving end, crying or screaming. It has been a
vicious circle and I know he resents her in a way
because she gets all of our "good attention" because
she is not the one teasing, and he gets our "bad
attention" because we are always fussing about why he
is teasing her. It has been *very* stressful for me,
and the regular talking about it to him doesn't seem
to help. We'll have a nice conversation about it one
night and the next day it's the same old thing. I end
up being very emotional over it, and am upset alot of
the time by it. I also am pregnant and don't think it
is so good for me to be this upset all the time. Help
please. Thanks so much! Heather L.
