My daughter Alexandra is almost 2 and a half. She is delicious, but can be tough as most kids her age are. She has trouble sharing. We are trying to teach her and have found it difficult. So i hit the net, searching for answers, and apart from the obvious i found some good kernels.
Firstly, the obvious is to reward good behavior and set good examples.
The not so obvious.... Before a playdate, ask your child if there are any toys they'd like to put away so that nobody can play with them, because it is ok for children to have their own private things. Secondly, when inviting another child to play, ask them to bring a few of their own toys. Your child will inherently want to play with these foreign, new things, and it will make it more acceptable to them to allow the other child to play with their stuff.
Time to implement. Let me know if you have other suggestions.
See my last blog post and i mentioned that i thought the Mets were going to go on a run. Boy do i look smart. They have exceeded my expectations and look like a disciplined, well coached team. I am dampering expectations, but think that they can compete with the rest of the NL.
City Treehouse is an amazing place in NYC for a rainy or winter day. It is by appointment only and features a playroom, a water table and a slide/jungle gym. Highly recommend checking it out.

All this new music that i've been talking about is great and all, but lately it's back to the classics. Lots of Doors, Zepp, Dead, and Reggae. Comfort food for the ears...
Have a great day.
