I have two DD's, 2.5 and 15 months, over the last couple of weeks fighting over toys has got to fever pitch, everything my youngest has the older wants, what are your best strategies for dealing with this?
Is it best to have defined toys for each child as I have tried this with certain "special toys" but that seems to make it worse! I keep talking about taking turns but as soon as the youngest gets the toy my eldest says it is her turn again and a scuffle breaks out! My entire day is spent refereeing which is to be expected but I can't help but think I am dealing with the situation wrongly. Also any recommendations for books about creating sibling harmony would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
