One of the things that I’m battling right now is teaching my 2 toddlers how to share. Even as recently as last week, as we made a 700 mile road trip down the east coast with one bag of organic Cheetos, we had to set a timer for 2 minutes because they each wanted to hold the bag. So as the alarm off, one of them would hold it. As the alarm went off again, we would have to trade. That’s one thing we’ve had to do is set timers, because unfortunately I think no matter whose toy it is, no matter what snack it is, they always want what the other one has. So we essentially set time limits and enforce them.
