Phil and I debate this often: when should kids just work it out on their own, and when should a parent interfere? "Just before it gets physical and someone loses an eye?" That’s like saying, "Add the fish to the pan, just before the pan starts to smoke." At a certain age, kids understand what it is to take turns, and parents can praise their kids when they see them sharing, but should you really always be the one to elbow in and teach them fairness? Isn’t there something to be said for letting kids work it out on their own? Even if it’s not always fair? Life, after all… well, you know how it goes.
Is Abigail usually more dominant or do they take turns being alpha? I don't have twins, but I do have two sets of kids both 18 months apart… The younger set are now 3 and 4 and, man, do they have conflict…
It's all about being patient. I'm talking about myself here. I promise, as soon as I can say, I will.
Your children are so adorable!!! and I loved watching Mr. Bikini take off after the play lawnmower in the background!
Abigail is always the alpha. She might be one minute his junior, but she's the boss. And he's the sweet Kind Sir, who's always ready to give whatever he has to his sister.
I want to eat your children. This might sound creepy, but I have a total crush on Lucas.
You're too funny. I love it.
You did it! You mutilated your daughter. Something to really celebrate.
I love your videos! The clips you choose to use. I could watch your sprouts all day, Stephanie. Thank you for sharing all you do. PINK! So good.
Just saw on Amazon that Moose comes out in paperback on June 9! Congratulations. Now tell us what's go on with TV?
