and how about the "Eso Mio" AKA "its MINE"

since we are talking about all of our kids irks...1 month ago J did not even know that word existed but since his cousin joined him at the nanny's thats all I hear. Everything is "Mio" and he wants to grab everything and hold on tight like "you ain't getting this honey!" OMG. So annoying! Like he forgot all the words i've taught him and replaced it. I always repeat "No, that is to share with everyone" and "Play nice" but i'm even wondering if he "gets" it. Any suggestions? Anyone else going through this???

    i think sharing comes with age and is a developmental step.  Keep telling him what you're telling him and teaching him to share.  I read somewhere that toddlers are self-centered little creatures by nature and can't understand that not everything they see "belongs" to them.  Redirect and distract.  If it's something that he can't have - take it away and tell him its not his and then give him something else to distract him. 

    Toddlers are fun.

    Sharing does come with age. There are times when Mikey does not mind sharing at all and others where he fights tooth and nail about something because its his. When he throws those fits I always remind him that he needs to share. And when he does share nicely I point out that he's sharing nicely so that he hears compliments about his behavior. He is just now really starting to share more.

    This is a very common word in my house - and that is that Sophie shares really well. But she uses it when we take items away from her. Like....she colors on my floor, so I take the crayon away and I get a, "MIIIINE!" and dramatic wailing. LOL.

    When she was J's age and doing it with other kids we did the, "its so and so's turn and then it will be your turn again" rather than share. Share implies...give it up. A turn implies it will eventually come back to you.

    GL!

    My nephew is at the stage too... but he's learning it from the sister (a lot of toys the sister has aren't appropriate for him (i.e., Barbie w/ small pieces) so she has a point in saying "mine."

    Whenever I see him do that, I remind him "let's share for a while.  When she's / he's done, it will be your turn next."  He totally understands "turns" and sharing.  He just doesn't like to participate.  LOL 

    Just keep reminding him... he'll come around.  : )
