we have to share

Every morning the kids wake up and after showering and eating, they play in the toys area. So it’s really a party-pooper thing to go “Daniel, it’s time for school!” and both of them look at me like go-away-Mommy-we-are-playing. There’s no way I can get Daniel excited to leave the house if he’s playing happily with his toys. So one day, I just said “Come on, Daniel, we’re going to be late. You know what, just take your toy and bring it to school.”
Like magic, he stood up and brought his toy guitar to school.
The next day, he brought a toy car.
The next day, he brought Mariam’s pink picnic basket.
The next day, a book that I like to read to him at night.
Thing is, none of these toys make it back home! They’re either lost in school, cause fights because the other children want to play with them too, or Daniel simply left them lying around somewhere. That’s like 100 bucks lost everyday. Daniel going to school = not good economy for the household.
Today, Daniel said, “I want to bring these blocks to school, Mommy.”
“No Sayang, just leave them at home, please?”
“No, Mommy, I want to bringgggggg.”
“No cannot, later the other children want to take it from you.”Β
He looked at me and frowned. And then said, “Mommy, we have to share ok?” before turning around and getting his bag.
OUCH.
Burn.

My son is like that too Vivy, always bring toys to school. But the teacher will make sure that the toys will find they way back home.. hihi best teacher ever!
my boy the same but we tell him that the toy want to sleep in the car while he go to school n let he play after we pick him up. .heee. lucky he listen π
my boy will not prefer bring the toys to school.. because the teacher will say..
nanti kawan2 ambil.. better keep at house or car while u go to school..
luckly he understand and keep remind me… he will keep the toy at secret place..
‘bwh katil’… and ask me.. lock the door.. π
I remember a video on your Insta when Daniel gave you a disapproving look because you didn’t recite Basmallah :p He remember these values, good on him!
Our daycare lets the kids bring one toy to school too but they set some rules and ask parents to label everything. That might help? However, if it does cause fights or issues at school then maybe the school can set out a rule for no toys from home or maybe toys from home can be brought in one day a week like a show and tell. There are so many toys and activities at daycare that I’m sure my kids don’t even miss their toys at home ><
