[quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old is outgoing and makes friends easily. He is about in the middle in terms of “bossiness,” it seems — not the most laid back kid, but not the most insistent leader either. Friends come over to play and I do not notice any crying or fighting — they want to stay more and more and 5 year old often give away his possessions for them to keep without a fuss. Recently I noticed that when playing with his little sister who is 2 he seems to have a lot of trouble sharing or coming up with compromises that will allow them both to play nicely. The 2 year old is gentle and just wants to copy and learn. But 5 year old snatches, controls, and resorts to serious sulks when he does not get his way. I don’t know if this is normal sibling rivalry or if he needs to work on his cooperative skills more. He goes to a Montessori school so although they go outside three times a week there is not an emphasis on play based learning. What can a normal 5 year old do in play? What skills do you work on with your kids and how?[/quote]
