[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids 3 years apart also. Yes, I do teach them strategies for getting along ... and then I back off and let them work it out, hopefully experimenting with the strategies I tried to teach them. [b]Eventually the older kid learned that if he always tries to get the good toys and have his way, the younger kid will (a) not play with him anymore, and/or (b) throw a screaming fit. He's learned that he needs to play nicely if he wants a playmate. [/b] Frankly, it's more effective than Mom coming in every 15 minutes to remind him to share. Of course, this only works if the younger one is more vocal about his wants/needs, which mine is (a blessing and curse...). If the younger is more of a "go along to get along" type, I could see wanting to jump in more so that he doesn't get pushed around.[/quote] This.[/quote]
