Sharing is Caring - Social skills


Sharing is an important aspect of helping them develop social skills and learn how to interact with others. Here are some tips for promoting sharing in young children:

  1. Set a good example: Children often model their behavior after the adults around them, so it's important to demonstrate sharing behaviors yourself. Share toys or snacks with your child, and explain why sharing is important.

  2. Praise sharing behavior: When your child shares with others, be sure to praise them for their kind behavior. This reinforces the positive action and encourages them to continue sharing in the future.

  3. Use positive language: Instead of telling your child what not to do ("Don't be selfish"), use positive language to encourage sharing ("Let's share our toys with our friends").

  4. Make sharing a game: You can make sharing fun by playing games that involve taking turns or sharing toys. This helps your child learn that sharing can be enjoyable and rewarding.

  5. Teach problem-solving skills: Encourage your child to come up with solutions when conflicts arise over sharing. For example, if two children both want to play with the same toy, suggest they take turns or find another toy to share.

Remember, learning to share takes time and practice, so be patient and continue to reinforce positive sharing behaviors.
