[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing is to try not viewing the refereeing as a bad thing. Try viewing it as teaching them how to get along and play well together. Which is extra challenging with a one year old involved! Exhausting work now for better days ahead. Sometimes visible zones work. Something like them both having their own play mats on the floor. Teach them not to enter the other persons space/mat or take toys from the rug. Often it is easier to have the 3 year old up at a table and out of reach for the one year old. [/quote] OP here. Thank you! Reframing refereeing is great advice! My 3 yr old does play with some things on the table and those minutes are blissful! But zones don’t work as both kids want to be where I am and I can’t leave the kids alone for more than a few minutes. [/quote]
