Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

What can I do to get my 5 yr old and 2 yr old to get along better? Always fighting over toys.

[ Reply | More ]Talk to them about taking turns. Use an egg timer to signal when it's time to switch. Say that if they can't take turns and share, you'll take away the toys. Distract them by getting them to collaborate on some task like cooking, or some activity like painting a picture together, playing instruments and dancing to music, etc.
