A Note On "Sharing"

Okay, let's be honest we all know even adults sometimes have problems sharing. (and we all understand the concept.)
It's much easier for a young child to grasp the idea of taking turns.
So next time your child won't share try saying:
"You've been playing with Red Bear for a long time. it's Jonny's turn to play with Red Bear; let him play with Red Bear for a few minutes and then you can have Red Bear back "
Most of the time if you can convince the child the toy is coming back, they'll give it up. The only problem is you have to make sure that Red Bear actually does come back.
(If you don't all hell will break loose.)

<3 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY <3

In honor of Valentines Day, I present to you The Bear Family. It's a little complicated so bear with me a moment (haw-haw-haw).
Red bear (m) is married to Isabelle (f), Barney(m) is their child. Curly (f) is somehow related to Isabelle (they are sometimes siblings, sometimes cousins, sometimes lifelong friends, but whatever their actual relationship they love each other very much.) Curly is married to Wallace (m) and Marcella (f) is their child. Red Bear and Wallace are both very good bears but they don't always get along well. They sometimes argue when the Mums are not present. They often try to convince each other to "go away" and leave their child. ( ei Wallace:"You can go away Red Bear, and I can take Marcella and Barney out to get some ice cream", Red Bear: "No Wallace, you can go away, and I can take Barney and Marcella out for Pizza" to which one of the children replies "No, we will all go out for Pizza and ice cream together." )
This year for Valentines Day Wallace gave Curly a blue car. Red Bear gave Isabelle an axe. Both Curly and Isabelle were very, very happy with their gifts. When I inquired as to what Red Bear and Wallace received as gifts I was told that they were going to share the gifts they gave........
I'm sure this reveals all kinds of crazy information about my son pyscological development. He's obviously got no problems in the imagienation department.


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYBODY!!
