I know I just asked a question but, my 7 almost 8 year old niece will pick up her brother or her cousin and take their toys and do stuff that makes them start screaming or cry. Her cousin is due july 3 and I don’t know how she will act towards him. She did it to her 4 year old brother when he was a baby but, she was only 3. The other day she grabbed her cousin’s shirt and let go when we notice her. Why does she act like this towards her younger siblings and cousins and how do we stop this behavior?

Children are evil.
She probably just wants attention. When she does good things reward her and bad take things away. Kids are hard to raise now days. I have a 6 year old myself. Not easy!
she sounds like a BULLY. Tell her to stop, immediately, and if she doesn’t, punish her. You’ve let her get away with it for 4-5 years. By your own statements. You condoned it all along.
she probably feels as if she is not the “baby” anymore and feels the need to get attention and the only way she seems to get it is when she up sets them
take her out by herself one day and make her feel special.
She mite b doing these things in anger toward her cuzins. Her cousins and siblings r babies so they probably get mor attention then her. She mite do these things cuz shes angry cuz they get the attention. If she is doing it bcuz of wat i say then make sure she knos that shes luved. Putting her in time outs would also give her a lot of attention 😉
Give her a good whack.
