Recently, Jie Jie has been wanting everything to be hers. She says "Mine" and hides the things she wants behind her back. We have been constantly repeating the word "Share share" with her a couple of times.Well, this is just another phase of growing up. A normal part of the development process. I will not be so strict or upset because of this, oh well, the power to possess is a natural part of the child’s growing awareness. Give them some time and they will outgrow from this, very soon. Don't make a big deal out of it. Some of these struggles should be ignored — you don't want sharing to become a parent-child battleground.
One trick that works for my daughter to share her things is to ask her to keep back her things. Strange? Yes. She feels happy if she owns the things, and she doesn't feel happy if I ask her to pass the toys to another child. So, what works is I ask her to put the toys on the table/keep the toys in the room, which means nobody owns the toys. And it works pretty well. She even clap her hands after that. So, parent your child your own way. Do not have to be that strict because they are growing up and they are learning. And you do not have to follow the book step by steps, follow your instinct, follow your heart.
Here's one funny act when Jie Jie wants to sit her Di Di's Bumbo.
Ashlynn : Daniel, come I carry you. Go sit your chair (the fisher price rocker)
Daniel : Looking at Jie Jie.
Ashlynn tried to carry him but she couldn't.
She gave up and she stood next to Daniel.
So, I carried Daniel and put him on his rocker and within a split second, Jie Jie was already sitting on his Bumbo.
Haha. She's so cute when she said Daniel, I carry you. =D
