SHARING-my 3 yo dd has an issue with it. when her friend(s) come over, she won't share her toys. she will pick out toys that she wants them to play with. when her friends want to play with what she is playing with, she will not give in and share. when she is over at her friends' house and finds a toy she likes, she will not give it up when the host friend wants to play with it. HELP!!! my dh and i share everything and show that we share but that has not had any effect on her. is this typical? and when she is with a friend who has just as much of a strong personality as her, they inevitably get into a fight. she seems to only play nice with friends who are more docile and give in. WTF? any tips on having her share? we have had so many talks with her. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

ask her to pick 3 things that she doesn't want to share and put them away then tell her that everything else you need to share but not to worry because sally or fred will not take any toys home etc. [ Reply | More

she needs to know that things are hers and that if she shares that she still gets to keep them. I was told not to intervene in the situations where the children both want a certain toy unless there is physical pushing, hitting, etc or if there is a stalemate where they both are pulling and neither is giving in - in that case take away said toy and give them both something else. This has worked so far. You may want to get creative with teaching her that sharing is fun. She will never learn to share out of the goodness of her heart if it's imposed upon her - three years old is a little young for that concept, but she'll get the hang of it if she has a good experience with sharing.
