Always wanting to take stuff to school

[Astrid]

Spoke to the teacher today. She is happy to take the blame for the 1 toy rule They don't have a set day for show and tell, which probably wont change. Seems like most of the taking is so she can play with the other girls in their lunch break and many have been bringing Barbies lately. So looks like I will just have to tough on her taking only one and make her pack it the night before, with the rule of if she whinges, then none!

Liz- that is a tough one. I would feel awful if she was bring other toys home.

We have a 1 toy rule and it has to be nothing of value so most days they take a car for the sandpit or a tech deck or similar. I usually frisk them at the door if I see them gathering toys and by the time we get to school the tanty is generally over.

DS1 has been given a few things. I usually tell him to give something back of equal value ie a car for a car and on the occasion that a little girl in his class gave him her canteen money I made him pay it back on canteen day the next week.
