Mother Knows Best

My children sometimes fight over the same toy. If I cant determine who was playing with the toy first, I flip a coin calling heads or tails. The child who loses the coin toss gets to set the cooking timer for five minutes while the other child plays with the toy first. After that, its the other childs turn to play with the toy. We continue taking turns until both children are done with the toy. It has worked for us in every situation! --Teri H., Washington, D.C.
