I've had dcg3 since she was an infant. 12 week old dcb brother will start next week. And I've noticed that, when mom brings him in to pick up dcg, dcg gets possessive and ignores my requests.

For example, all the kids will hover around to see him, some try to touch him. I'll say hands off, no touching baby. They'll stop with the touching, but dcg will make a point to continue touching him.

Yes, she's the big sister, but should I allow her to do things with him that I don't normally allow? My kids are all 2 and under except for this dcg, but they're old enough to know when someone is getting special and they're not.
