subject: Help Your Child Learn To Share by:Sudha Gupta [print this page] Parents are left at their wits end while figuring out why their child can't share his toys with his friends. But parents should know that children are possessive by nature and have their own insecurities which stop them from sharing their toys and vie for attention. It is their duty to help the child develop the attitude to share.
The habit of sharing develops over a period of time: You have to be really patient because the attitude to adjust and share doesn't develop overnight. Guiding the child once and expecting him to follow it would be too much. Always remember that your child is still in the process of learning to share.
Create opportunities for peer group interaction: The more your child gets to spend time with his age mates, the more he'll learn to share. There may be a few unpleasant situations but both you and your child will learn from them. So take your child to the places of friends or relatives, parties or family get together and invite his friends over to your house.
Encourage your child to share: When a child experiences the joy and benefits of sharing, he is naturally motivated to share his things with his friends. Make your child experience this over and over again. Make him distribute sweets in his class or amongst his friends on occasions. Bake a cake for him and send to school to distribute in the class. Cook french fries in lunch so that he can share with his group.
Appreciate and never criticize: Praise your child whenever he shows signs of good behavior. At the same time don't lose temper if he refuses to share. And worse would be to label or criticize the child for being selfish or uncivilized.
Be a role model: If you share your things comfortably with other members of the family or show such a behavior when it come to your friends, your child will surely follow your footsteps. Set an example from your own life while dealing in all kinds of relationships may it be friends, neighbors, relatives or your colleagues.
