[quote=Anonymous]You need to teach your child to be generous and to set boundaries. Talk with her about the need to be kind to her cousin and share. Help her identify the toys she isn’t willing to share and put them away before the visit. Maybe make her bedroom off limits. Teach her a script for both the cousin and for you if the cousin takes something she doesn’t want to share. For example “cousin, that toy is special to me and I don’t want to share it right now.” And if that doesn’t work, she should have a script for coming to you “I don’t want yo share the Barbie, can you help me put it away?” Fwiw I expect my kid to share her toys with visitors especially if she’s had a chance to remove anything too precious. But I would try to have an escape hatch as well, assuming it doesn’t get abused (every toy definitely can’t be unshared). This has nothing to do with your in laws. [/quote]
