| Parent's Time Out Question of the Week |
| "It's MINE! MINE! MINE!" |
| "We have a problem with sharing here. Juliana (2 1/2) refuses to share anything with her brother. Even his own toys!! Any advice on how to get her to share?" ~Binka |

| We have the same problem with Julienne (2 1/2) not wanting to share, I started making an afternoon snack, and when she doesn't share that day she doesn't get the goodies...Took a few days for her to catch on , but she finally learned when u are nice to people (and your sister) you get good things in return. Some days we will switch up the snack for an hour at the park or a snowbal or something.~julia |
| WOW... I can't say I have that problem. My little one already shares even her snack with me and she just turned one. I suppose it depends on how far apart in age they are. Maybe if your son sat down on the floor and played with a multitude of toys with your little girl, she would learn to share a little just by interaction. My 2 kids are 8 1/2 years apart, and my son loves to play on the floor with the baby and her toys, often offers up some of his own. They sometimes have 30 figurines out at one time!(like pooh, eyeore, mickey, dalmations ect.) She seems to have a ball, and doesn't have a problem giving him a toy as he makes them make silly sounds and "walk" and "jump"!. Best of luck to you! ~ A Babies Breath |
| Faith is the same way. I just keep telling her to share and not take toys away from Madelyn. Madelyn has started taking toys away from faith(Paybacks LOL). My best advice is to take the toy back and give to her brother and reinforce sharing. I think at their ages that is going to take a while for them to understand sharing. (My girls anyway) Stay firm and consistent and hopefully soon mine and yours will understand sharing. ~shutterbuggin |
| We had the same problem here. My daughter (also 2 1/2) does not like to share toys with her baby sister. She snatches them out of the baby's hand even. I started trying sharing with my oldest anything that i had-food, toys we were playing with, ect... and i would say "Now see how much fun it is when u share? I bet emma would love it if you shared with her, too." She sees my example and since she is in the "act like mommy" stage, she wants to do every thing I do. Also, if she acted ugly to her baby sister, she had to sit on her bed for a few minutes in time-out. She hates this, since she loves attention, so this worked well for us. ~Amy |
| We have a big problem with sharing around here also!! The only thing i can think of is to get them the same things that match, so that they won't fight over them. Also i tell my daughter if she doesn't share her toys with him (the ones he can't choke on), that she is not allowed to play with his toys. Hope this helps! ~dani |
