What should I do?
Justin is the new kid in our condo area. He is in that stage where what is mine is mine and what is yours is mine. When he goes outside to play the kids don't like to play with him because he takes their toys away and they will continue to tell him no and they will eventually hit him. They all play good together, but when Justin comes out I feel like heck brakes loose. Justin hates to be inside and wants to play outside all day so this has been tough for him......any advice?

Savanna is going through the mine stage as well. It is frustrating. She is not playing super well with children either. Maybe try just getting him around other kids besides them to practice sharing. I think you mentioned that the kids are older so maybe that has something to do with it. There is Jump On IT that starts up in September that I can give you more details on where they go and jump on trampolines and ride the bouncy houses. Maybe then he can get used to playing around other kids maybe closer to his age and not having to share his toys while he is doing that. Maybe they could trade toys too? Justin give them a toy and then they give him one. Anyway, good luck! And if you have any advice for us to get Savanna to stay in nursery, let me know! Hope you are doing well.
Hey, Stephanie its Mom. Jen and I were talking about this and think it would be good if Justin would ask the child something like this "When you are done with that toy could I have a turn?" It teaches the other child how to share. In the mean time you need to distract Justin by other activites such as saying "Hey look at this toy wouldn't it be fun to play-then have him tell the other child that he will play with it and then trade with that child. Just remember that it is a phase that the children go through and it to will pass. It sounds that the children you have Justin playing with are not told to share also and that makes me feel that they need some training with their parents am I right? Hope you will get this worked out! Come to Grandma's home and have fun if that doesn't work out. love Mom
Honestly, I feel that the only way to help remedy that for the little guy is some experience playing with other children. My girls went through phases like that, but going to the gym and having play dates and all really helped them. They aren't always perfect at it - but it's not as big of a problem now. Maybe you could even talk to Justin about if he can learn to share, more children will want to play with him and they can both have a really fun time together.
So we had that problem and it is not completely fixed but this is what I did. When Brody was around his younger cousin Kaden and Kaden was sharing the toys with Brooklyn I said Oh that is such a good boy Kaden...wait to go. That makes me so happy that you would share with Brooklyn. Which in turn made him want to keep sharing and Brody picked up on it as well. I made such a big deal about it when Brody did it that he laughed and continued to want to share. When we got home to our house and he says mine. I say no these toys are for everybody. They belong to mommy and daddy and we like to share them with everyone. For some reason it worked. I still continue to make it a big deal when he shares with Brooklyn. Good luck.
