I wouldn’t eat that, it’s been on the floor.
I wouldn’t say that if I were you. You never know who might hear you.
9. Taking turns: when two or more people alternate when doing something
First it’s my turn, then it will be his turn.
Can I have the next turn?
Parenting Note: Encouraging your children to “take turns” works better than
saying “You need to share.” Let the child decide when their “turn” is finished, and
help the other child wait as long as needed. This builds generosity and
companionship instead of creating battles for control.
*I highly recommend reading
this book
“Peaceful Parent, Happy Sibling.”

The important thing is bonding and spending time together.
