Parenting Tip #14 Sharing
5 CommentsAs I passed through toys stores, this generation children have good life or pampered should I say? They are so many different types of toys out there for them to choose from. Often I am asked, hey you got two children, do you buy 2 of the same toys? I used to do that but it is better for me to teach my children to share.
Yeah it is a challenge because I have tough children. Each child has this illusion thinking that all toys that mummy buys belongs to him or her. Try and break the illusion, you will be faced with a scream or a loud cried.
I used the 5 minutes rule. Each gets to play 5 minutes of the toy and pass to the other person. He plays 5 minutes and she plays 5 minutes. Each takes his or her 5 minutes turn. If they fight for the same toy, often I will take the toy away.
I am glad I have 2, if I have 5 or more, I cannot be buying 5 of the same toy. Best way is to teach your children to share.

yea, i’m still learning this. I always taught my boys how to share the toys, but of course must do some sweet talk, sometime they willing, sometime of course end up with crying and screaming and fight over the toys!

Can’t wait for CE to be older to teach him abt sharing. At the moment, it’s quite unfair that jie jie has to give in most of the time.
