"<p>Have you found yourself really upset because your child won&rsquo;t share?</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>I have. I&rsquo;ve been embarrassed, angry, felt let down and (now) I&rsquo;m okay with it!</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Imagine: You are baking and someone takes your ingredients away. Well, that&rsquo;s what happens to a kid immersed in play and when you ask him to share.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><br />I&rsquo;ve realized the top 3 reasons my daughter won&rsquo;t share!</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><img src='https://cdn-sp.babychakra.com/articles/normal/3021/article_5a7060f540fb2.jpg' alt='' width='600' height='600' />&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>She &nbsp;doesn&rsquo;t know it&rsquo;s the correct thing to do.</strong>&nbsp;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Oblivious to manners, social etiquette and being nice, kids are usually brutally honest and don&rsquo;t realize politeness. It comes only with age.<br /><br /></p>\r\n<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Papa gave it to her and it&rsquo;s her favourite!</strong>&nbsp;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Can you imagine giving away your car to a friend? As adults we struggle. These are babies and certainly have trouble parting with their precious toys.<br /><br /></p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>She worries the borrower might damage the toy.</strong>&nbsp;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Thought of this? When my daughter said she didn&rsquo;t want to share with her brother out of fear he would spoil her clay, I could understand.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Remember, sharing is not directly proportional to the child&rsquo;s good behavior or manners. With age, it gets better and in the meantime, here&rsquo;s what you can do to promote sharing.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p><img src='https://cdn-sp.babychakra.com/articles/normal/3021/article_5a70613663d42.jpg' alt='' width='600' height='600' />&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Respect your child&rsquo;s wishes.</strong>&nbsp;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>If we respect children, they&rsquo;ll respect us and people around them. Period.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Model sharing.</strong>&nbsp;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Little things matter. Practice sharing within the household and with people you trust only. It&rsquo;s a great beginning step.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Leave it at home.</strong>&nbsp;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>I&rsquo;m training &nbsp;my daughter to leave her favourite toy at home if she doesn&rsquo;t want to share it at the play-date. Today, she chooses her least favourite toy &nbsp;because the attachment is lower.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Also read: <a href='https://www.babychakra.com/learn/2988-toddler-fear-4-it-s-too-loud?utm_source=learn&amp;utm_medium=toddler-behaviou&amp;utm_term=3021utm_campaign=content&amp;src=paid' target='_blank'>Toddler Fear #4: It&rsquo;s Too Loud!</a></p>\r\n<p>Explore the entire collection of articles:&nbsp;<a href='https://www.babychakra.com/learn/toddler-behaviour?utm_source=learn&amp;utm_medium=toddler-behaviou&amp;utm_term=3021utm_campaign=content&amp;src=paid' target='_blank'>Toddler Behaviour</a></p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n</p>\n <b><a style='text-decoration:none' href='http://app.babychakra.com/hashtag/toddlertantrums'><font color='#2b5998'><span>#</span></font><font color='#2b5998'>toddlertantrums</font></a></b>  <b><a style='text-decoration:none' href='http://app.babychakra.com/hashtag/toddlerbehaviour'><font color='#2b5998'><span>#</span></font><font color='#2b5998'>toddlerbehaviour</font></a></b> "
