 Very good tips to make children share their toys with siblings and friends. I will surely teach all these techniques to my kid. So that he can share his chocolates, snacks and other small things with her classmates at Orchids International School.

 Hi Guys, I'm a new teacher and I have two children in my classroom who doesn't like sharing. Whenever a class activity is going on, they try to hide behind classmates so they don't have to share whatever it is they are using. I have tried making the activities more fun, I have also tried placing the class into gender groups and still nothing. Can anyone give me insight of what I should try next? Thanks in advance!

 this article is written very well and will help lot of parents to understand their growing kids in teaching them to share the toys instead of scolding and punishing that kid to sacrifice the toy.

 good article, indeed. if anything, i would raise the younger child`s interest in a different toy and say that the older sibling will share his toy when he is done playing. same vice versa. if the older child takes away the toy from the younger, i would ask him to wait until the younger one is done playing. at one time i was having a picnic with my toddler son. he brought all his toy cars because he wanted some one-on-one play time with me. a boy of the adjacent family suddenly jumped right on our blanket and started playing with the cars. my son became very protective of his toys only to hear the boys mom yeelling "typical only child, does not know how to share". i still think that was unfair because if the toys belong to nobody, everyone should take turns but if they are my son`s own, it is up to him when he is ready to share. i only encouraged my son to let the boy know when he was welcome to join the game.

 your article on sharing is wonderful! i also wrote a poetry book for children on difficulties of sharing, which is coming out on summer 2006 - this book was inspired by watching many kids at play and is based on animal characters teaching a little girl how to share - if the animal kingdom shares with humans there is defenitely hope for humans to share amongst themselves. when we learn to share our toys we will grow up to share those most important possessions with those most in need!

 i think this is an excellent article. it is a good thing to teach children to share, to be generous. however, that does not mean giving up their possessions just because another child is crying for it. the example of the desk lamp is exactly correct. no one should take a belonging of one adult and give it to another, simply because the other wants it, so why should it be that way for children. i am a strong defender of property rights, and i think most people believe that people have a right to their property. it is no good for the development of a person to teach them that their property is subject to confiscation simply because someone else wants it, or it makes the other person jealous. it is the child screaming for another's toy who needs to learn a lesson: that they don't always get whatever they want, especially if it belongs to someone else. to me, property rights are more important and fundamental than sharing. only after someone feels secure in their belongings and overall station in life can they truly learn generosity. that isn't a bad thing, it's how humans work, and it's for the best. thanks again for the excellent article.

 to sonu - i am writting this in connection to sonu's previous message about " older children taking away toys from younger ones" - look sonu older children are fairly understanding - they understand what you talk or say to them - in this case you can convience him / her by giving something else of his interest and make him agree to part with the toy to the yonger one.

 i have a 4 year old boy, who always used to be very generous about sharing his toys and eveything else, then about a year ago i moved in with my boyfriend who has a little girl about 2 months older than my son, she only comes over one night and day a week. the little girl would always immediately go straight for whatever it was my son would be playing with and snatch it out of his hands obviously my son got upset over this, the little girl did not get put right on this matter by her father and i felt it was never my place to. unforunately my son has now developed quite a problem with sharing his toys now and reading this article has shown me i have been dealing with this all wrong. i have always shouted at him and told him off for not sharing i will take a much different approach from now on. thank you
