It is advantageous when others can offer alternative points of view.Sarah Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130247223287762814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-55314466870067075542009-07-17T19:26:37.446-07:002009-07-17T19:26:37.446-07:00I love the kind and thoughtful words of your reade...I love the kind and thoughtful words of your readers.

Whereas, adults have to repress their desire to have instant gratification.Sarah Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130247223287762814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-27310026238480158122009-07-06T10:40:41.834-07:002009-07-06T10:40:41.834-07:00Don't worry! It happens to all of us. I thin...Don't worry! It happens to all of us. I think what it is is that at this age, they don't even have the slightest idea of what ownership is. They think its all theirs. And even if/when they know (in a few years) they still don't like to share! Kids want to have something fun, and sharing has to be taught and almost bribed out of them!! Even adults have this feeling, but we know its socially wrong and insulting to others to be so greedy. Children have no concept of that.The Unorthodox Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214507146914782673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-66586973658099182392009-07-05T15:36:12.015-07:002009-07-05T15:36:12.015-07:00You're right, he's not a bully in the real...You're right, he's not a bully in the real sense of the word. But you're right, Josina, he needs to learn how to share! That wasn't his toy! <br /><br />Oh Ari-Bear, Ari-Banana, he is a toddler now and I hear this stuff comes with the territory.<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words about my parenting :)Sarah Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130247223287762814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881889234584131192.post-45807759179827965202009-07-05T14:35:49.451-07:002009-07-05T14:35:49.451-07:00Okay, I don't have any real experience, but I ...Okay, I don't have any real experience, but I am going to share my opinion anyway. If you want to listen, okay. If not, you are probably right to ignore me! After saying that, this is what I think: yes, Ari needs to learn how to share but I don' think that is episode means he will become a bully. You are a loving and observant parent and a child becoming a bully has a multitude of causes. Many of which are just not present in your situation. Cheer up chum, Ari will be fine! Or not, but that is to be determined later.

He is attached to you and won't want to upset you. He is still too young to feel empathy for other kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
