Teach him some of the disciplinary things that you do with Bella so that he is consistent when he is around her. You will need to work with him and supervise him.

EXCELLENT suggestions! I was going to ask if Bella had seen you in a positive physical setting with your nephew. Maybe sitting beside you, or playing - to show her he is an accepted pack member.
