I have a dd (4) and am hoping to soon adopt a younger child (probably 1). I have discussed this with dd and she is generally positive, but adamant that she won't share her room or her toys.
I'm sympathetic to her being able to keep some things sacred from a grabby toddler, but obviously she does have to learn to share - space, toys, parental attention - with her new sister. I realise I have absolutely no idea what the 'rules' are in other families. So what do you do? Are your children allowed to ban siblings from their rooms? Are they allowed to refuse to share certain toys? I'd like to set expectations from the start, so would be grateful for any advice.
