abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.. The Alphabet and Google
Yeah this is a repost from my father and son blog.. just want to share it here too for the parents who read and write to this blog as well as to those who just want to know a little trivia for today.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.. The Alphabet. The letters of the Alphabet… The building blocks of words.

Jealousy and Sibling Rivalry
Toddlers and preschoolers believe they should get undivided attention whenever they order it because they live at the center of their universe. This self-centered view of life is the source of sibling rivalry and jealousy. When the attention they demand isn’t there because it’s being morph into green-eyed monsters.
Smitten with jealousy, they sulk, sabotage, scream or solicit more attention by hitting their siblings, breaking toys, throwing tantrums and so on. Justified or not, your child’s jealousy can tear your heart out. Interpret their jealous behaviour as a teachable moment by giving her both attention she needs and the opportunity to be helpful.
