My 6 yr old ds still finds taking turns and sharing difficult, this is especially a problem when he plays with friends.
Yesterday, at a friend's house he cried and screamed after I persuaded him to share a pair of monster eyes. He was focused on how this would ruin his own monster as it would only have one eye. He saw that he should share it, but found it very difficult. He kept running away from the friend and wouldn't stop crying. It took him a while to get over it, but later when I spoke to him he said he was wrong for the behaviour.
He reacts emotionally when things don't go his way - at school he is in a small group with the Emotional Literacy Assistant, and she told me he has improved. He found pass the parcel very difficult at one time and would scream and shout and cry because of the uncertainty of not knowing when it was going to be his turn. But we just seem to regress from time to time.
We have house rules at home, he responds to these well - does anybody think a list of rules for playing with friends is a good idea? I am worried his reactions will start putting others off playing with him.
