​The Concept of Sharing

If you have a child, you probably know that it is not easy to teach the concept of sharing. However, sharing is a critical concept that should be learned at any early age. Below are some tips and tricks to get your little ones to share. 

Define "Mine" and "Yours"
It can be difficult for children to comprehend the concepts of mine and yours. However, you can teach it to them by setting some toys that are specifically for the child. Then, give other toys to the rest of the children.

Take Turns
Another way to teach children about sharing is to have them take turns with a toy. It gives each child one-on-one time with the toy. Once their time is up, they then pass it to the next child. 

Real Life Examples of Sharing
Children will learn what sharing is when you point out real life examples. If characters in a book are sharing something, explain that to the child. If you see two people sharing something, say so. This will only help children apply it to their own lives.
