Best of luck. ; )

If I tell my child that it is not my job to determine who should get toy, I send her on way to solve her own problem and to learn from her own mistakes. She learns from her different approaches. She learns about choices.

You may think that this could never work in your home because you have experienced that things can get out of hand, and kids can easily get physical and violent if you don’t get involved.

Point taken and I have to admit it is harder NOT to get involved than to get involved AT FIRST. There is fear, and a bunch of what if’s…… My biggest what if though would be: “What if I prevent my children to learn, to become self-reliant and self-responsible because I let fear get in way?”
