[quote=Anonymous]I nanny for a set of 4 year old twins. Twin A is more dominant - twin B is more of a follower and let's twin A do the decision making. I try so very hard to make twin B more confident and to be an independent decision maker - we've made progress but he's still pretty passive. Twin A is so bossy and wants all of the  toys, and is first one to preach sharing when somebody (school, home, play dates) has a toy that he wants.

We talk about sharing and he understands the concept of it just only wants to do it when it benefits him. They turned 4 in March and they each got separate toys for their birthday. Twin A wants all of his toys and all of twin B's and the problem (the majority of the time) is that twin B could care less. If twin A wants them, twin B will move on and find something else to do, BUT when twin B wants to play with something of twin A's or even of his own, twin A has a huge major fit. I absolutely never give into the fit and I usually just say he has to relax and wait his turn.

I don't want to take away his ability to play with others toys, but he has to learn that he needs to share.

I've been with this NF for almost 2 years and this behavior hasn't improved - I'd say it's only getting worse and is making play dates more problematic. [/quote]
