One year old being too rough

[playfelt]

Basically the child doesn't recognize the other child as a child but only as an object. The whole idea of parallel play comes into effect here in the sense they just go about doing their own thing. Part of helping them learn to be a group will be about teaching them about each other. Do some things together with them - hand games, body part songs, etc. Start showing them toys and play such as blocks and all working on the same structure as you are.

Some are just baby "bulls in a china shop" as they say and they need to be given an area all their own to move in till they start walking. You job becomes one of crowd control. Not fun but they also do tend to be the first to let go and just walk.
