Things I forgot

I've been reading and re-reading child care and child development books lately. They all talk about offering your children opportunities and choices. They reminded me about how small children are not goal oriented, but instead care about the experience.

Nowhere is any of the books do they tell me how to talk two brothers out of killing each other over a stick of plastic while a baby is wailing to be fed every forty minutes.

That should be the first question any child development book answers! I don't know! Maybe there are mothers/child-care people out there who read this blog who do??? But you can usually bet if one kid wants it, so will the other. Let me know what you find out.
