good video! We thankfully haven't gotten any hitting or pushing yet, but are still dealing with issues with sharing and not wanting other kids to use communal stuff like at playgrounds and public areas. Multiple times a day its "Go play over there!" or "no this is MINE" and I just feel like i'm at my wits end lol
Thanks! Maybe you will find this video on sharing helpful: th-cam.com/video/0apW9pMfz8o/w-d-xo.html . Communal items can be difficult. At school what I do is gently help the child off the equipment and then say "You can go back on when you are ready to invite other people on with you ." or ready to share, or whatever words work for that particular child. Thanks for watching!
@@MissJuliesMontessoriMinutes thanks so much for the help :) yea that's pretty much what we try to do. i've also tried to let them work it out for themselves a few times and just seen how it plays out without any intervention, but I always end up feeling bad for the other kids haha. It seems like we're doing the right things, it's gotten to the point that if it happens a few times in a row we say "alright, we're going to have to go home if we can't be nice to the other kids" then calmly explain why we've got to be kind/share etc. I don't know if there are better ways to approach it, other than setting an expectation and then following through if they keep the behavior up. it can just get so exhausting when it seems like weeks and months go by saying the same things to my little one but still having the same issues lol. I know they're still tiny and learning how the world works, so i try my best to be patient. nobody said it was easy, i suppose haha. Well thanks for reading my rant and more importantly thanks so much for the great content :)

@@ThePinnacleSFA Terrific, yes often times children can work things out in their toddler ways without things escalating, they are so capable Cheers!
