What methods does Meredith Masony recommend for handling the 'Mine' debate with children?

Meredith’s take on the “Mine” debate is pretty clear: your kids own nothing and they are borrowing your stuff.

A few methods she leans into:

1. Be very direct: explain that parents bought it, so it technically belongs to you
2. Use humor and exaggeration to cut the tension and make the point stick
3. Reinforce sharing and gratitude instead of “mine, mine, mine”

Do you want ideas for what to actually say to your kids in the moment?
