How to stop small children fighting over a toy
I don’t know if this miracle cure will work in every household but my new best friend is a manual timer (we call it The Pinger). Each child is allowed to have a 5 minute turn with the toy causing the dispute while the other(s) set the timer. As if by magic small child who is playing toy gives up the toy with a ‘There you are your turn now’ when the pinger goes off.
The Miracle Pinger I call it.
