Hello,
I have a 2 year old daughter, she is very active and bright. Catches things in a jiffy. But we live in a joint family and we have another kid (a boy) in the family of same age. She doesn't like to play with him at all... She doesn't let her touch any of the toys, she never plays with him. She sometimes doesn't even let him in the room where she is playing. Seems like she hates him so much she can't even stand his presence at times. I am really worried about this behaviour of hers.

Hi friend , your child still needs to grow up to share & care with all the family members . Basically she is at the premature level of her development. Most of her learning is by imitation. Parenting styles matter a lot , that determine the handling pattern .
Next Steps
Tele Counselling sessions by experienced Psychologist could help to guide the parents to clarify parental handling and help the child to adjust better in a big family.
Health Tips
To overcome difficulties in life we need to deal with them effectively & patiently .

Hello Practo user,
You mentioned some of the behavioural issues that your child is showing. Children generally do not express verbally what bothers them. It shows in their behavior. Something is bothering the child therrefore she is expressing it in her behaviour. Before reaching onto any conclusion it is necessary to have a detailed understanding. You may consult a clinical psychologist for a better understanding of the issue. You could also try spending more time with your child, give her more warm gestures like hugging her or kissing her on forehead, try doing activities which includes both of your children and set clear rules.
Next Steps
Consult a clinical Psychologist
Health Tips
Increase spending time with child, give warm gestures, do collaborative activities and set some clear rules.

Hello, thanks for sharing most of the kids don’t share at this age but I see tht your kid needs some guidance to socialise with other kids.
1. you can make her sit with you and the other child with his mom and teach her to pass the ball to each other and play (sharing)
2. you can make the other child share his toys with your daughter (car) and teach her to share her toy with him and you can show her videos on sharing and caring and say small age appropriate stories. (Both are rewarded)..
3. You need to teach her good behaviour with actions and reward her for each good behaviour
Eg if she shares her toys (give her a star, candy or a make something like french fries or something) - positive reinforcement works well
