Abstract: Children who are “loved by all” are sometimes becoming more and more “petty”. This is a habit of not knowing how to share. We all hope that children can learn to share with others, so how to cultivate the good habits of children to share it, today I introduce to you some foreign mothers practices, baby parents quickly to see what inspiration it. 1. Try the exchange method We found that toy “trading” is a good way to encourage children to share with others, especially the rule that children must borrow the toys they want from another child (not another child’s mom or dad). Our family has a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old who often do this with the neighborhood kids. This way the young owner of the toy has a sense of control and they know that their decision counts. The child who borrows the toy also knows what they must come up with in exchange for the item. When it comes time to exchange the toys back, the children (not the parents) will be responsible for making sure everyone’s stuff is returned. 2. The “ABC Time” method In order to teach my two children to take turns playing with the same thing, I came up with the “ABC Time” method. The time each child can swing or play with a toy is the time of the whole ABC song. The children knew that when the song was over, it was another child’s turn. The older child will happily sing the ABC song loudly while the younger one hums along, and when the song ends, both children will happily give up their play things. 3. Cow Timer I have two children and they are usually able to play well together. If they want to play with the same thing, I tell them to go get the “cow” – a cow-shaped timer that will “moo” when the time comes. Both children knew that if it wasn’t her turn, they would have to play something else until the cow mooed and it was his turn. We have found that using this cow timer to let children take turns is usually very effective. 4. Talk it out 2.5 year old son is now at that stage where everything is “mine”. To encourage our son to share, we asked him if he could lend his toy or blanket to his baby sister for a while. We pointed out to him how much his little sister liked him and we would tell him that she would only borrow it for a little while. We never forced our son to give up his own things, but we never had to force him to do so if it was properly discussed with him in this way: he decided to share his own things. It is worthwhile to expect that our son will also have this sense of generosity to play with other children. 5. Ways to Share My daughter is almost 1.5 years old, and when she is playing with other children, I watch my daughter and intervene if she does something unfair to another child. For example, if she grabs a toy from another toddler, I pay attention to that situation and give the toy back to that child, and I will explain to my daughter that children whose toys are taken from them by others can be very sad. Also, I know that it is very difficult for a child to see her mother give a toy to another child, so I try to find something to excite the child instead of returning the toy. It is very difficult for a new toddler to share with others, but with a little help from mom and dad, the child can still learn to share with others. 6. Persistence How can a 2-year-old share things with others? The most important thing is to start teaching your child to do this at a very young age and to be persistent. Whenever a child says, “My book,” I respond, “Yes, but will you share it with me?” I also learned to let my son play with his 8-month-old baby brother’s toys – but first I would tell him, “It’s Charlie’s, but he’s willing to share it with you.” This approach taught my son that sharing is a mutual thing.
