Toy Hog

[Suzie_Homemaker]

She is not playing with them, she is actually playing with other toys, she just won't let anyone else play with them....now of course because she claims these toys everyday, the others want to play with them....its driving me crazy

I would tell her that toys not being used are available for other children. If she hogging one toy and others, try 15 min timer. After buzzer goes, some one else turn and she need to find different toy.

I have also said that it not your toy, all toys here are Suzie's toy so must be shared. If not shared, toy goes away and no one has it.

I've said similar. I will also take the toy and ask them to let me know when they have come up with a plan to share it so I can give it back. They usually come after a few minutes with a plan which is usually "I'm going to play with it and then they're going to play with it and then I'm going to play with it, etc"
