My boy is crawling!

Congrats! This can be really hard for a two year old to comprehend, but to keep sanity, he needs to learn that the baby is younger than him and doesn't know any better. Maybe you can explain to him that he is the big brother now and that he can teach the baby how to play with the toy. I don't think that I would make a big fuss about wrestling the toy away from the 2 year old, as then it becomes a power struggle. Once, the youngster believes that it isn't such a prize posession for either you or the baby, he will relinquish it. Maybe you could get the baby a special toy and let your 2 year old play with it...reinforcing the fact that "they are brothers and should share everything...even the baby is sharing and he is so much younger than you!" Good luck...I know this will be a tough one, but hang in there...it'll come with time!

You will have to teach him to share - it's hard as they are his toys but he also has to learn that the baby is younger and smaller than him...try to involve them both in playing so that one does not feel left out - and try to let the older child help more with the younger so he learns sharing and helping is a good thing..good luck!!

Oh no—sibling rivalry already : ) How do you explain to a 2 year old that the baby isn’t going to hurt their toys? That’s a good one- Maybe you or your hubby can sit down with your 2 yr old and the baby and play with the toys together- explaining that it is ok to share- Why not start early on with sharing. How about the older 2 boys? Does the 2 year old play with anything of theirs? Explain that also- I know a lot explaining to a 2 year old. I think playing with the toys together might help- Hey it’s worth a shot- Good luck!

My daughter is 6 and still acts that way with her toys!! SO I don't really have any advice, besides trying to talk to him and tell him he needs to share with his little brother, if he understands, my son is two and doesn't care what I tell him! This is my biggest problem with my kids! Hopefully you will get some good advice =)

I don't have much advice but I think this is a good time to teach your 2 year old to share. I'm sure he will get used to it eventually but this is new to him too. Good luck! I wish you the best.
