DD is just 4, ds is 18 months. They both love each others toys. DD will sit and play on ds's car mat with his cars and garage and they play together nicely.
If DD switches her keyboard on, ds rushes over to play with her and join in singing into the mic etc but dd gets really stroppy and is either nasty to him or switches it off...same with her dolls pram - ds loves to push it around with her but she will go too fast to he falls over. I've just told her off for the latter and taken the pram away.
On the one hand I understand that she is getting more independant now and needs her own things to be just hers... but I also want her to understand that ds lets her play with him and his things so it's nice for her to share with him.....
Is it possible to find a balance or is it tears and tantrums all the way from now on??!
