In this Episode

Wondering why your two-year-old is not keen on sharing toys with their playmates? I have a reel that is about to hit 4 MILLION views…and it’s about sharing. Many people don’t agree with my post so today’s episode is all about understanding child development and sharing – a concept that genuinely blossoms around the age of four.  Let’s unravel the misconceptions and shed light on the research behind this fascinating aspect of child growth.

Developing pro-social behavior in children is an art. And the canvas – relationships! Yes, kids are more likely to share with people they’re familiar with. But how can we, as parents and educators, encourage these skills? Let’s get practical as we discuss everything from how to inspire your child to pass on their balloon to their best bud, to sharing a yummy cookie with grandma. We explore the importance of patience, understanding, and excellent guidance in nurturing these essential life skills.

Play, the universal language of children, is our secret weapon. We dive into how play can teach children about sharing, mine vs. yours, patience, and even conflict resolution. The episode wraps up with some love for our wonderful listeners, emphasizing how much we appreciate your ratings and reviews. We hope to continue delivering insightful episodes and wish you a beautiful week ahead! Don’t miss out on this enlightening journey into the world of child development and sharing.
