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:

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

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