Do your lo's share theyre toys?

Im abit worried as callum gets into a right strop if someone trys to use the toy hes playing with even if its not his x Today we took to a soft play thing and oh had to literally stop him frm slapping a lil boys face cos he touched the toy he was playing with x

I dunno what to do i tell him off but i dunno if he will grow out of it or what xx

my danielle is very selfish with her stuff but she rarely sees kids her age so has never had to share ,,,, nursery is gonna be fun when she finally goes

i wouldnt so much as tell him off but maybe try explaining ,, i know its hard to explain to a child

lewis will quite happily share his toys with me...and will hand his toys to lily-ann but instantly takes them back from her...he also steals everything off of her!

i think at that age we just have to keep reinforcing that everyone gets a turn, he gets a go and then we hold his hand to stop him stealing lily-ann's turn.

i don't know what to suggest at soft play though...tbh i think it's a phase they all go through

Gracie went through this so we started to wait for her to play with a toy (let her play for a good long while) then take it off her and encourage her to play with something else then do it again, a few melt downs and a few weeks later she now shares her toys and wont go into one if someone takes it off her x

alasdairs at the stage of wanting EVERYTHING that garry has. or he chucks him self on the floor and screams blue murder. iv just been ignoring it, he gets up and goes and plays with something else. hoping its just a passing phase!!

ah lewis takes everything of lily-ann's and it's such a struggle cos she can't fight back, so if we leave them in a room together he'll steal it and go mental if it's taken back off him...yet the second she's not playing with it, he loses interest!

lacey is only 16 month old and gets very stroppy some times when she gota share toys she even trys to hit my m8s little gal when she trys to take something shes playin with

I have been told children dont truly grasp sharing until the age of 3. Until then its just reinforcement as they are very much into instant gratificatio and what belongs to them. C has become very possesive in last few months to point that if i confiscate a toy because she is being bad she will stand and scream MINE and try to take it back and playing with other kids i am constantly watching for sharing 'issues'. If she gets her hair off i explain shes allowed what she has in her hand and the other child can play with what they have and she cant have both. Figure im just gonna be doing it for a while

TODDLER’S RULES

1- If I want it, it's mine
2- If it's in my hand, it's mine
3- If I can take it away from you, it's mine
4- If I had it a little while ago, it's mine
5- If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way
6- If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine
7- If it just looks like mine, it's mine
8- If I think it's mine, it's mine
9- If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine
10- Once it's mine it will never belong to anyone else, no matter what

Totally true

to be fare to lewis...he doesn't share toys...but....

he loves to share food!!! if he's eating and i say 'mummy have' or 'lily-ann have' he will happily share with us, only when he has choc does he think twice! lol


wish he was so good with toys! lol

Wil is so laid back he just lets other kids take stuff off him and walks away to do something else.

Slightly different if you try to take the vacuum cleaner away though...seriously, the child has an unhealthy attraction to it and will go to any lengths to make sure he has access to it.
