It can be the exact same toy, and the little one just wants the one big sis has. Big sis reluctantly switches, but is still upset?! my kids are crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131590 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 09:43:03 +0000 autumnlove 1131590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Good tips, I will def use them when the baby gets older! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131506 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 09:20:03 +0000 Honeybee 1131506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Lol, well first we told the kids we were going to a communist model household. :) they each "own" their individual blankies and EVERYTHING else has to be shared. Then we started showing DD that if she wanted something DS had (or if DS was trying to take her toy) she could "trade" him another toy. This works like 90% of the time to distract him enough that he stops trying to take her toy. If they can't work it out by themselves with trading/taking turns with a toy, I will set a 2 minute timer and they have to take turns. If that STILL doesn't end their fighting, the toy goes in time out and neither kid gets to play with it. </p> <p>I think the majority of the time, they are able to trade/take turns all by themselves now, without my interference. I only step in maybe once a day, now (which is a big improvement!). It will get easier as your girls get older, too. Mine started playing much more nicely together after DS hit the 12-15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131484 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 09:11:13 +0000 autumnlove 1131484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Can you share a strategy? hahha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131480 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 09:10:05 +0000 Honeybee 1131480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've figured it out pretty well by now (DD is 3, DS is 18 months). They were fighting all the time for about the last 9 months, but we finally implemented some strategies that work, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131255 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 07:59:14 +0000 autumnlove 1131255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SAHM0811: haha, I was going to order another Winkel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131236 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 07:54:34 +0000 mamimami 1131236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES a confrontation over duplos led to their first slappy fight the other day... my son is almost three and my daughter's not even 1 yet, but she's scrappy. On the one hand this concerns me, but on the other I have to keep from laughing because they look so funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131192 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 07:36:12 +0000 T-Mom 1131192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.. Even things that my DD outgrew years ago that my Ds plays with.. The second he starts playing with it, she has to have it. And he is allll over her princess books... Lots of whining all around. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131130 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 07:03:09 +0000 Rubies 1131130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will probably happen...DD is very possessive of her things, even "baby" things like her old rattle toy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1131112 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 06:52:34 +0000 yin 1131112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm afraid of this happening. Currently DS1 is taking all of the baby toys and playing with them. I keep telling him it's baby brother's toys, but he doesn't mind that they're baby toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-los-fight-over-toys#post-1130982 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 04:05:52 +0000 SAHM0811 1130982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All.
