Hi

My child 7 years old. I am a working mother (goes to work at 7.30 am and arrives home at 10.00pm). Till last year he was with us. WE used to drop him at our MIL OR mother(she stay' s with my sister) house to help me in engaging him when ever he had holidays. MIL went out of country now. She will not come back for another 2 years. As my mother does not stay in the same city we had very tuff time in managing our child' s schedule with our office schedules. Finally we left him with my mother at their place. We visit every 20 - 30 days.

The problem is that my sister' s child is 1.5 years elder to my child. He is very aggressive and he is very talkative, very fast and manage with friends for time being does not love. My child is very slow, does not speak much. But he loves people from his heart. Mine and my sister' s idea to keep them together was the children should learn from each other. But both the children are growing up in their qualities. Finally my child is becoming more and more sensitive. This worries me somuch. We never compare the child' s in front them. During day time both of them fight like anything and at night they won' t leave one another. How to make understand elder one to love people and younger to be strong mentally.

As I had to convince all my family members a lot to leave him there I cannot bring him back immediately. I need to wail till the academic end or my MIL to come back.

Some please help me.

Thanks in advance.
