What would you do ?

🤔 tell her she can't have it cuase it's yours not hers and that she had already finished hers and the next day she can have some more (or later in the day if in afternoon for dessert after dinner is fully done )

If I told him no i would stick to it - now youve taught her that she can have whatever she wants if she just screams loud enough 😅 Consistency and conviction!

‘If you’re still hungry you can have x, y, z. I don’t want to share my food right now so you can’t have my ice cream but you can have x, y, z if you’d like

You told her no then gave in anyway. Either dont say no, or stick to it. Ive told my daughter many times "im sorry, but i dont want to share my food this time. I usually do, but this time i dont want to. Do you want something different?" Sometimes shell say yes, usually she just runs off to play.

😭😭 you are all right thank you. I just feel bad lol. But consistency and conviction as Heidi said!!

I get it! I feel bad sometimes too, but it does get easier!

When i don't want to share anything with my little one, i tell her it's spicy 😂 and she's too little for spicy foods.

I may have gotten her another spoonful of ice cream from the carton into her own bowl, IF she asked nicely. I'd have her ask "more please" or something like that.

Depends on age as well. When I've ordered ice cream for my little one and the portion is far larger than I'd like her to have, I share it and I make sure my spoons are much bigger so she doesn't know she's getting less than half. I know it won't work when she is bigger! I think there is no one right answer so you can always try different things and see what works

These types of little boundaries are helpful in the long run! Learning to accept no is NOT easy for us (especially little) but it’s something we all have to learn and to realize we’ll be ok even without the thing that we so separating want

I would have (reluctantly to be honest) stuck to saying No, I'd rather deal with a tantrum a few times because they are not getting what they want, instead of the risk of constant tantrums because they know that's all they have to do to get what they want every time.

My daughter does this to me all the time. She will be given something, a icecream, icelolly or cookie etc. And then when she finishes she will then ask me for mine when she sees me eating it later on. So what I do now is I eat what ever snack I have at the same time she is eating hers so that she doesnt ask me for mine. Or I just wait for her to be in bed, then eat the snack then.

I would have shared 🤭

She's allowed to feel disappointed. Ur job is to show her the unspoken rules of life like sharing, and moderation. Making sure she never has a tantrum ever is a set up for difficult behavior later. You'll both be ok

No means no. Giving in to tantrums shows them that tantrums work to get what they want.

I get it. I thinks there’s a better way to communicate it. Check out “how to talk so little kids will listen” fantastic read.
