Toy Hog

[kindertime]

Have you tried encouraging her to play with these toys? Like getting her to make a special bed or house for them? Could she decorate a shoe box or Kleenex box. All the kids could have a special box for a few special toys. If you wanted to limit the time, making it "before snack" is the time for special toys, or something. After that, everything is community property again.

Maybe she could "name" the little people. Here, all of ours have names. Is there a separate corner where she could take them to play with them where she could be "protected" from others taking them? I really do think there is at least some element of her having a need for control. I also agree with what fun&care said, when you need her to share, allow her to decide which one or ones to give away. Maybe put a time limit on that to. "You can share for 5 minutes, then you can have it back."
