3.5 yr DCB Claiming Everything

[lizzardb85]

So I have a 3.5 yr DCB two days a week with his 6 yr sister. He doesn't share, not a big deal or a surprise, but he also demands that whatever anyone else has should be "shared" with him. To the point where he screams cries and collapses until he gets what he wants. His sister usually gives in. This can be a swing, we have 3 or one of 7 duplicate cups in the water table, even the water itself has been "mine" a few times. I don't let anyone take toys from each other, they can ask but the other is allowed to say no. He seems to think that sharing involves saying please and then automatically getting your way. Another interesting part of this is that if you are playing with him, he wants to tell you everything that you can say, touch and do, again if he doesn't get his way he gets upset. At this point I mostly let him cry it out until he is ready to play again.

Any suggestions on how to help this behavior?

By age 3 every dck here can repeat, "Please let me know when youre done with that." Which is what I have them larrot. We do talks about how you must WAIT until someone is done with something and they will leet you know when they are.

I have never really had theatrical fits happen longer than a week over this. I pay them no mind and put them in a spot with a book if it happens and move on. ::

I think him being pt and having sis intervening is holding him back. I wiuld have her play in a different area for a bit so he could develop better social skills on his own.

I think being part time is a big part of it. It has gotten better since school is out but I think the grandmas tell sister to give him everything.

Thank you for the wording, every time I take a min to talk to him but nothing seems to be settling in.
