I remember when I young and would fight like cats and dogs with my brother and sister. I especially have memories of fighting with my sister as we got older and were teenagers and young adults. Since I was an only child until I was five, I do not have memories of fighting with siblings when I was really young. However, I see how it can happen with my children. We have several toys that the twins love - a mini shopping cart, a tricycle and a ride-on car that makes noise. Since there is only one of each toy and two babies, there are lots of fights between the kids to use these toys. If one starts using a toy, the other immediately feels the need to use it. Then, they physically try to push each other off the toy so he/she can use it. One of them always gets hurt.
It's hard to teach sharing at 18 months old, yet I'm trying. Do any of you mommas have advice on how to teach sharing and patience? I've been hiding these toys in our bathroom with the door shut to avoid fights.
