My 11 month old constantly pulls my older kids hair, scratches them, and annoys them. What should I do about this? Is she too younge for me to discipline her?

not too young to discipline -
tell her firmly, no, this hurts. we make nice & demonstrate.
Give her something to do - read a book, colour.
Repeat........ Wink

She might be looking for attention (now, that she's older, she's probably is not as much in the center as she used to be, right?)

She also could have learned to do this by seing somebody do it Confused

Or may be she does it when she is hungry, tired, needs fresh diaper...

and ask your older kids to try to be patient with her.

I have her home with me while the older kids are in school. She is with me till 3 every day. I spend time with her.

It has nothing to do with that. She just does it. When she is tired or hungry she just cries until I pick her up and take care of whatever is necccessary.

They are very patient with her. They know that she is a baby and she doesnt know what she is doing.

She most prob doesn't want to share her mummy w/h anyone-else. And wants to do whatever will get mummy running to her, I had that w/h one of my kids smart ones. Listen just tell her "no pick you up, b/c you hurt, or made boo boo". Hatzlacha and this too will pass.

engage her in activity to direct her energy. blocks, stackers, anything for her age. everytime she finishes to do something, give her something else to do, and so on.

That's a great line for a 2 year old, but a bit much for 11 months. She will get confused by all the words. Just pick her up, say "NO" firmly and put her away from the other kids. She will go right back over, but will get the message.

It will take a while for the message to totally sink in, but she will get it.
