[quote=Anonymous]Agree to agree that all kids will get in trouble for:
1. Physical hitting or touch (also touching to bother kids, but that’s an older kid annoying thing they do: “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you.” When their finger is almost in the others kids eye)
2. Damaging property.

Everything else you might let go, OR not punish but help them navigate.

Sharing is - whoever is holding the toy has the toy. Done. Have them practice sharing with you timing it. Then they’ll see how it cycles back and forth every 2 minutes or so. By the 2nd time, they get it or they’re over the toy.

If the child wants something, they ask nicely. The kid with the toy can say Yes or No. The kid who wants should wait 1 solid minute, and they can ask again. Repeat. Yes or No. eventually the kid will share. <—ive done this with my kids for years and they are good sharers. The hard part is having the kid wait. I use timers again, and remind them “I know larla will share.” A minute later, she shares and it’s done.[/quote]
