Ds1 and 2 are 6 and 4 and want to play games such as connect 4 and snap Dd is 2 and keeps messing the games up. This causes the boys to get upset and angry with her. They then start fighting. I am on my own with the kids. She is very demanding of my attention and climbs everywhere. I have stuck the tv on and given up. This is not happy families.

Can you do something with your daughter and leave your sons to play their game?

Can't your DS's go and play it in their bedroom/kitchen table while DD plays with her own toys in the living room?

Oh no they don't want to play together - they want me to play!

Can you and DD play as a team? The boys will surely understand she needs your help to play.

I think my dd is feral - she just wants to upturn everything. She is 26 months so not that easy to explain the game to.

Could she be on your "team", so she cold play for a bit, then wander off when she gets bored, to play in the same room, without disrupting the game?
