Sharing is Caring

Sam is a wonderful child, but certainly is two years old! We're working a lot on how to share and how to speak without whining or crying. I've come up with some strategies to give him appropriate outlets for impulses he has ("Don't bite Mommy, bite your blankie" or "Don't push Andrew, push a pillow"). For the most part those outlets work and if I can manage it, making a game of something or being silly almost always works to divert his attention. To address the whining, I'm currently working on only "listening" to him when he uses a normal voice...but he hasn't figured it out too well so far. I guess it just takes time.
