Children's fighting over the same toy is a problem that all parents or childcare providers face. If one
child wants to play the Play Station, all the other children are suddenly interested in doing the same thing
quickly abandoning whatever has previously held their attention. This is human nature playing itself out in
children. People often think that what someone else has or is doing is more desirable than what they have
or are doing. They will abandon their own wish to participate in the wish of another so that they do not
lose something better. Children start this at a young age.
Parents and childcare workers often see the children fighting for rights to one toy rather than being
satisfied with playing with something else. The best way to help children overcome this human habit is to
teach them to consider others more important than themselves. They need to respect other people. So if
Johnny wants to use the Play Station unbroken, then the other children should not fight to take it from
him. Johnny should also care about the other children andrenderthe controller to them in a fair amount
of time.
If a child is always grabbing everything for himself, then there is a problem that needs working out. If
a child is always dissatisfied with what he has and wants what the other child has, then that needs to be
talked about. Parents can use these fights over toys to help their children understand how to treat others
right. This does not always mean punishment. Teach the child the way that he should go and he will not
depart from it. Instruct him wisely. Have the child apologize to the other child if he has infringed upon
(侵犯) his rights. Teach love, forgiveness, self-control, and kindness. Practice this in your life and the
child will learn that this is the better way and live accordingly. Next time all the children are fighting for the
same toy, use it as an object lesson to teach them these things.
