When your two year old thinks everything in the world is his, how do you teach him that it isn't? My two year old is very spoiled, but still thinks everything else is his. He wil be having a little brother soon, and I need to try to distinguish between his things, and the baby things...that he may not be able to ude. Such as a swing or baby chair.things he is to big for. How did you overcome that stage with your kids, or how are you trying...

im right there with ya. I am going through that stage right now with my 2 year old girl. She plays with her 7 year old cousin every day and they fight like they are the same age. Mine grabs all the toys and wants them all to herself. We just explain how to share. My wife and i will show by example. I give my wife something, then she gives me something.

Al 4 of my kids went through the MINE stage. I think it's normal. I still try to teach the concept of sharing, and sooner or later, through many a temper tantrum, screams, yells, and tears, the chld WILL learn that sharing will get him on Mama's good graces in teh long run :)
