Not a fan of the sharing
September 08, 2006
Mia has recently decided that she doesn't like to share. No, make that HATES it. Yesterday we were at a playgroup activity and I was giving Mia craisins from my hand. Another girl came over to get some and Mia just about had a fit! She yelled and shoved the other girl away. When I told her that we had enough for everyone and that she could share, Mia tried to pick up the whole handful of craisins and shove them into her mouth. This is the same girl who eats cheerios in 3 bites. I put half of the craisins in one hand and half in the other so the two girls could have their own portions. Not good enough says Mia. First she tried to fling my other hand away so I would drop the other girl's portion. Then she actually put her mouth in my hand, took all of her craisins into her mouth for a second then spit them back into my hand. THEN she reached over and tried to start eating the other girl's!
Today at Gymboree was even worse. When another boy wanted to play with her ball she shoved him. If anyone else came near the toy she was playing with at the time she would yell at them until they were scared away. We are definitely going to have to work on this new behavior.
