Hi, I am in a playgroup where kids often snatch toys away from my son and moms seldomly correct their children. My son has learned to be selfish as a result and now refuses to share or cries when his things are taken from him. How do I teach him to share under such circumstances?
I mean seriously, when did this become such an issue? Lead? are you kidding me!! I’m sure every single one of my toys contained lead and i turned out just fine.. a dora lamp isnt safe? a spinning daggar? please! what about our easy bake ovens or the creepy crawler bugs you could put in the oven with that extremely hot plate that burned me well over a dozen times. kids learn, their not dumb! god bless.. sorry I had to get that out…… your thoughts?
My kids were until a few months ago the only grandchildren on both sides of the family, so unsurprisingly they have way too many toys already (no fault of ours!). So I’m a bit at a loss for what to get them this Christmas. They don’t really have a wish-list (aside from art supplies, and my little guy wants more trucks), but obviously we’d still like to find them something they’d love.
I’m not interested in any toy that beeps, talks, lights up, or otherwise drives parents insane. I’m not interested in what’s trendy or ties in with a tv show or purports to be a learning toy. I’m just wondering for the following age groups what toy or other item your child *plays with* the most? Not the one that cost the most or that they were most excited to get at first or that they’re asking for, but the one that they truly love and keep on using month after month?
I’m looking for a 9-year-old, 7-year-old, 5-year-old, and 3-year-old. They’re girl-boy-girl-boy, but the girls are pretty tomboyish and the boys are pretty flexible in what they play with, too.
Thanks for your input!
I know 9-year-olds are pretty much past playing too much with toys per se … it doesn’t have to be a toy so much as something that your kid really loves.
they would love a pet, but can’t because of allergies and asthma (and parental overload … there are enough living things in this house already!)
okay i apparently missed all the troll/dog drama and am really not trying to be a forum for trolls here. talk about so high school….
thanks to the people giving actual help….
