How to Share a DeepDyve Article With a Toddler

Sharing is the act of distributing something (such as a resource, idea, or experience) to someone else. In a social context, sharing is often associated with the giving of a gift, such as food or money. In a broader sense, sharing can also include the free granting of use rights to a nonrival good, such as information.

Toddlers at this age are only beginning to learn to understand the emotions of others, so they may not share well. They might be impatient when waiting for their turn, or upset if they don’t get a toy that another child is playing with. It’s important to model good sharing and turn-taking at home, and to talk about what it means to be a kind and generous person.

Children need lots of practice in order to master this skill. It’s also helpful to give them activities that encourage sharing, such as choosing dress-ups together or drawing a big picture with the same packet of crayons. Rewarding and praising good sharing can help too, as can reminding them that when they share they’re helping other people have fun.
