My daughter is 15months and she doesnt ever share. My mother-in-law(or whatever i should call her) watches other kids and my daughter wont share with them. Any ideas on how to help her understand sharing? Peace & Love
15 months is way too young to expect her to share. Kids that age have no concept of putting another persons interest before their own, they're naturally selfish. They are just beginning to form an awareness of themselves, you can't expect them to immediately incorporate other people's needs too. It doesn't mean she's always going to be selfish, it's just that you shouldn't expect that from her until she's older...around 2 1/2--3 years. Of course, you should continue to encourage her to share, but don't get too frustrated when she'd rather not. As long as she learns to share reasonably well before she hits preschool, she'll be fine.
That's very normal. I've never heard of a 15 month old who was good at sharing... At that age kids don't usually play together, they play beside each other. If she is fighting over toys and things with other kids, just redirect her to something else...
Yeah, what they said. Most 3 year olds have trouble sharing much less a baby. Just always mirror what you want your babe to do. Let her see you sharing and being sweet. It will come.
