if you're faced with two kids crying over one toy?
a. let it go and let them figure it out for themselves
b. give one each of the same toy
c. give a different activity for each child
d. do nothing
i did all four and well, each option works depending on the kid's temperament. i've been through hell being mommy referee. i can't comfort one and leave the other one. it's all a matter of compromise and my kids have taught me how to.
amazing how kids can teach you life lessons.
now i'm working my muscles to be mommy referee again, this time to three fighting boys soon. good luck to me! and i hope there's another lesson in there somewhere.
My life unplugged
my daily thoughts and ramblings on motherhood, raising my kids, being a wife and everything else in between that matters in our life.
