[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were going to intervene to help your child hold onto their toy, why did you wait until the last minute? Why did you make your child make a “final” decision, but then offer an escape hatch when dc wanted to renege on the “final” decision? Either stay out of it entirely or intervene in a timely manner, but you prolonged this back-and-forth and helped turn it into a bigger deal than it needed to be.[/quote] Exactly this. As far as I am concerned, OP’s kid (in what, 3rd grade?) made a decision. No take backs. That’s what I would do with my son and he is only a 1st grader. On the other hand if the situation were flipped, I would make DS give back a toy to his friend. [/quote]
