Any good advice on "helping" a toddler gently through her "I own it all
and you can't have it" phase?  Rational answers like "no you don't, I
do, but I'll share it with you", and "sure, but will you share it with
me?" worked for a while, but not lately.  She's getting pretty greedy,
and easily upset if not humored.  Not desirable traits!

"Go read a book" is fine, if you tell me which book.  Please post your
answers if they're short, or mail them to me if they're long.  I don't
promise to summarize on this one.  Thanks in advance for any
discussion/replies this generates.
