3.5 yo here as well. We have a talk before going everywhere, mall, play dates, bdays, pool on the expectations. We also have those conversation before someone visits us on what our expectation is on sharing and behavior in general. I have noticed that when we forget to have the talk we would have higher chances of meltdown than when my toddler was mentally prepped for what things are going to look like
So we are a blended family and the approach we took when our girls were 3, 3, and 6 was to set family values. We let our kids know that there would be consequences for breaking our values (kindness and honesty). Outside of those two things they had free reign. This was empowering for them and us. As they have grown we have added another value but this is a clear way for them to understand what we believe make successful people.
I talk to my girl about how she would feel if xyz happens to her. Flip the situation to be somebody taking something from her and how she thinks she would feel. Has worked well for us.
I usually end up doing this a bit after the moment as in the moment she is too emotional. Took a few times/conversations but then I started to see a change in her decisions. We are always trying our best to make good choices.
