What about playing Daniel Tiger/Baby Margaret, so you two big dudes can work together to focus on Ty?
I've also done "awesome big brother/big sister rewards"...
You might be above blatant, unabashed, bribery, tho.
He is so great with Ty a lot of the time. Ty lights up around him & he'll sing to him & hug him & get in his face to talk to him. When I pick them up from school Trey's always so excited to go see "my baby brother" or "my Ty TY".
The problem with intentionally having them interact non-spontaneously is that Trey ends up thinking everything that Ty is playing with needs to be his & he'll grab it out of his hands.
We're working on correcting that behavior, but it's a work in progress as Ty only recently has been able to go ahead & grab things on his own, enjoy playing with things, etc.
Trey has always had a dominant personality, and Ty always seems content, & 95% was a bit of an exaggeration, so on the whole it's not really a large problem, but I do really enjoy the time I have with just Ty.
By the way, you & GW should play the SB Props. Give y'all something else football related to be competitive about.
