2. Parents should first understand one thing. The word "sharing" means nothing to children under 2 years old. At this time, they have no idea about other people's thoughts and feelings. In his mind, everyone thinks like him. His view of the world is often self-centered. When socializing with other children, it is difficult to really play with others. He is very possessive of his toys. At this time, it is most important to provide children with enough toys to avoid the competition caused by insufficient toys. In addition, parents should play the role of mediator and patiently tell their children: this is your toy, xx didn't take it away, he just played with it and will return it to you. Only when children are about 3 years old can they really interact and play with other children.
At this stage, they are no longer as selfish as before. They gradually realized that everyone has their own ideas, and began to solve the struggle with their partners by taking turns playing or exchanging toys. But at this time, parents still play an important guiding role: they can gently remind the children who are vying for toys that everyone has an equal opportunity to play with toys and guide the children to decide who will play first by drawing lots. Remember, under no circumstances should you take away children's toys or get angry with them. If you do this, the child is still unwilling to share, or the first sentence, don't force sharing, let the child make his own decision. When parents relax, your child will not be as selfish as you think, but independent and determined.
