We do the same with our two girls, who has the toy or item first, gets a turn and the other has to be patient and wait. Tantrums don't work with hubby and I too.Charmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594029336646324940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37667544722723930.post-3575004547150583052011-03-01T14:47:45.666+08:002011-03-01T14:47:45.666+08:00I agree with you that the common approach of askin...I agree with you that the common approach of asking the older child to give 'it' up to the younger child is simply not fair. I don't practise it right from the start. My boys know that throwing tantrums NEVER work in our family, so we get very few tantrums from them. But if both kids are after the same thing, the one who had it first also needs to understand that he has to share when the time is up. It works well in our family, though with some prized possession, there are still bickering at times.DGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935605661515681127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37667544722723930.post-12166897714951767002011-02-16T16:26:44.008+08:002011-02-16T16:26:44.008+08:00Yes we've got to make a conscious effort in ma...Yes we've got to make a conscious effort in making no1 feels love still!

It is so important to ensure the older one still feels secure and loved, and being "forced" to give in each time is plain unfair! :) Your BIL handled the situation very well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326055954753378117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37667544722723930.post-65096902014650110962011-02-15T15:04:27.426+08:002011-02-15T15:04:27.426+08:00that's right! the key to it is consistency whi...that's right! the key to it is consistency which you've done well!!!

Initially my 17 months will throw tantrum whenever we asked him to wait for his turn, now it seems he has get used to it! Thesedays when he wants to fight for anything from his big sis(who took the thing 1st), we just give him a 'hiss' and he will knw he has to give in and wait for his turn!;DAlice Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771321722368712404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37667544722723930.post-38798108371759098202011-02-14T10:08:59.137+08:002011-02-14T10:08:59.137+08:00loved what your BIL did.
