Brother and Sister (1) - " Let's Party! "



Some people prefer to have one child, some two, and some more than two. Most of my friends have only 2 children while some prefer to have only one. Siblings tend to fight with each other. They may become jealous of their brothers or sisters and parents are the one who suffers.

My kids sometimes fight too but sometimes they play together. I always encourage them to play together. I don't know how to name this, but my son called it, "Let's Party". They cycle together, pretend something they have watched over the television etc.. I don't understand the story line or how their play works. But they seem to enjoy themselves.

They may pretend to cook, like the one below, steering empty pet bottle on the table.


Even on the next morning, the first thing they did when they woke up, they continued the "Party game".... Oh, I forget to mentioned, they are supposed to wear the "Burger King crown" when they play party games...





I always encourage them to play like this. No need expensive games, no need anything. Just need imagination. And imagination is good for a child, isn't it?

Hi Yin Huei,
Wearing a "crown" is a great idea as it signifies "oneness" which in this case your two kids are playing as one(together as a team). Here they learn how to interact with each other through sharing and teamwork. Great job Mummy Yin Huei! :)
