how can i get my 8 year old little brother to stop mocking and copying everything i say?

Every time I try to give him advice or just make a statement, he will always come back with a mock and/or a slap. I don’t know why he does it. I try to ignore him. that doesn’t work. just makes him more mad. my mom says its just because he’s an immature little boy, but I don’t know. he just needs to stop. I try to be serious with him, but he just laughs. I’m about ready to give up. you don’t know how annoying it is.

Well if you can’t handle that how can you handle a bf, you’re older, just ignore him, he will stop eventually

Answer #2

He is doing it for your attention…………..just start doing the same thing to him and this episode will pass.

Answer #3

Well, if a would get a bf, he wouldn’t slap me or mock me, I would make sure of that. :p

Answer #4

so why can’t you make sure of that without a bf? I dont see how getting a bf would changes anything :-/

Answer #5

First off, your little brother is learning to manipulate you. While he is no doubt immature he is probably also ingenious at getting what he wants. You are in a battle of wits with your little brother and it is imperative that you avoid letting him better of you. One place you should draw the line is slapping. You should never have to put up with this. While kids do work most things out themselves physical aggression is where your parents should step in.
