guess it is inevitable. I realise that the older my little sweetie grows, she is becoming not such a sweetie at times to her Kor Kor. She just loves to bite her Kor Kor's precious die-cast Hot Wheel cars as her mouth is really quite itchy coz of the munchers that are preparing to explode from her gums! So this is the scenario:
Mei Mei crawling around. Suddenly stops and lunges forward to a shiny hard thing!
"I must really try this" she thinks "hmmmm....its cold and hard! Cool! The PUUUUURFECT cure for my itchy gums!"
Kor Kor playing happily but suddenly realises his favourite blue 77 die cast car is gone. Looks high and low and finally sees it. Its even more shiny as its now glistening with a coat of saliva from Mei Mei's mouth!
"Oh No!!!! Mummy! Dirty!!' and in an instant the cure for the itchy gums is grabbed out of the satisfied mouth!
Wails ensue!
So this is a perfect situation to teach Sharing right? But not so easy when you see both parties equally upset at not having the toy that met their own need!!! Patience Mummy Patience!
I am now trying the 'Exchange Policy"...still works for now as Mei Mei is satisfied as long as her itch in kept in check!
