The "me-first" syndrome isn't beyond our two year olds' comprehension, but I still have to define what being kind is with Bethel. Her understanding of that concept is still developing. :) You make a good point, that as our children mature, they are able to understand more complex motivations of their behavior.

"Could the problem be that you were trying to be first, even though your sister was already using the stool?” I think I would have taken the easy way out and told Ella Grace it wasn't kind ( which she already knows!) My response often can jsut be quick to "deal with it" but really, I am not getting to the bottom of it. I am learning that I really do need to ask more probing questions so that she truly will stop and think about her actions and make the right choices- God's way.
