"I&amp;#039;ve only seen Emmett try bite someone (a fun little habit I mentioned yesterday) when he has a toy yanked out of his hands. So I&amp;#039;m wondering if teaching him to share would be easier than teaching him not to bite? He&amp;#039;s actually an semi-okay sharer, but it comes with a LOT of prodding. &amp;quot;You need to share your guitar with Mia.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You can have a turn now, but then we&amp;#039;re going to let Mia use it.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Okay, now let Mia play with the guitar.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Emmett, it&amp;#039;s Mia&amp;#039;s turn to use the guitar now.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Emmett, now you HAVE to give Mia the guitar.&amp;quot; When he reluctantly hands over the guitar, we throw a big clapping and cheering party. &amp;quot;YAY! Good SHARING Emmett.&amp;quot; Then he promptly wants the guitar back. Sigh. If, at any point in the hand-over process Mia tries to snatch the guitar, Emmett goes in for the proverbial pound of flesh. (Although he&amp;#039;d probably be satisfied with a few ounces.) I mean, I don&amp;#039;t think I want Emmett to be okay with people yanking things out of his hands. (If I were checking out a pair of on-sale shoes in a boutique and someone snatched them out of my hands, I&amp;#039;d get hysterical! And rightfully so!) But I would like him to know that freaking out and biting someone isn&amp;#039;t an appropriate reaction to, well, anything. (Except maybe shoe snatching.) So how do I teach my toddler to share?
