Ok, I'm really encouraging Dom to share with other kids, there's just one problem,the other child's parent. If Dom brings a toy to the pool, and another child shows interest, I make him let the other kid see it. Even if he refuses, he has to give it up for at least a minute...well, the other day, he wanted to see this other child's toy and was just waiting there patiently, and asking "please". Well, his mom said "there's no way hes giving it up" right in front of her child! I was like ok, and tried to get Dom away to play with something else, but he refused, he just wanted to see the toy for a minute and he would give it up(this is what I teach him)...Does this happen to other people? How do you deal with it? Its very frustrating and sending him mixed messages!
