I think I am going to start being laid back in the midst of the conflict and let them work it out as long as no blood is shed. But keep up the behind-the-scenes sharing lessons. :D<br /> @Andrea: Yes, it's true! I don't want my baby getting bit while she's taking away someone's toy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-yr-old-grabbing-toysstrategies#post-88260 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:58:03 +0000 Maysprout 88260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 9 months and she does this too. I'll let it go for a minute because sometimes her and the other baby just end up handing the toy back and forth between each other. If it's a kid that's older then they usually get upset when she comes up and takes something out of their hand so if she doesn't hand it back to them then I hand it back to them and give her something else to play with. Sometimes she's very focused on the object though so I just have to move her away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-yr-old-grabbing-toysstrategies#post-88183 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 08:03:26 +0000 looch 88183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not sure there's really anything that can be done or should be done, honestly. If you've got kids playing, and they're developmental peers, I'd leave them alone to work it out. If a 3 year old was taking something from a 1 year old, I think there's a teaching moment. If it's two 1 year olds, I'd let them be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-yr-old-grabbing-toysstrategies#post-88163 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 07:04:25 +0000 chopsuey 88163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg so funny! My LO kept grabbing things from the 2 kids she played with yesterday too! I didn't stop her.. :P Should I have? hA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-yr-old-grabbing-toysstrategies#post-88156 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 06:32:17 +0000 Andrea 88156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to hear tips on this, too. I don't know if you can really get them to understand at this age, though. My LO goes to daycare and that hasn't helped her learn to share. From what I hear, kids are fighting over toys all day long -- and then biting might happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-yr-old-grabbing-toysstrategies#post-88145 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 04:16:06 +0000 808love 88145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do to help your kiddo understand not to grab toys from other kids? My daughter is almost 14 months old and when she is playing with other kids and is curious about what other kids are doing (always!) then she grabs the toy out of their hand. She is very persistent to the point of aggressive, grabbing it and using her little body to wedge herself, blocking them from getting it back when they reach back for it. I don't know what to do. I'm going to try practicing 'sharing' at home saying LO's turn, now Mama's turn and pass the toy back and forth. So I can just say "Junior's turn" when I want her to give the toy back up. </p> <p>I can't really grab it back from her. We don't think saying mine or yours is appropriate (or is it?). We usually say, "Give the xyz to Mommy, please. " But she's getting to the age she resists and that's after the fact after she's taken it away. What else can I do? </p>
