Hi there,

We have two beautiful sons - Charlie (22 months) and Toby (2 weeks). Charlie seems to be adjusting remarkably well to Toby's arrival. Most of the time he's quite happy, but he really hates it when Toby cries. He's always been a sensitive little thing. For example, he lets out a scream when he hears another child crying at the supermarket... that kind of thing. So every time Toby cries he lets out these incredible screams. Sometimes he throws things too. We think he's just stressed out by hearing Toby sad, but sometimes it seems like he's doing it for attention. I'm just wondering if this is normal, and if anyone has any ideas about what to do. I figure he's just gotta get used to it, because I'm sure Toby isn't going to stop crying anytime soon, but I don't want to a) ignore Charlie's feelings or b) allow him to think that it's ok to scream like that every time. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place at the moment... help!
