It isn't always so easy to share with your little sister when you only two years old, but thankfully it is becoming more and more of a common thing in our very own household.
It can be challenging to know how to respond to my older daughter when my younger daughter constantly wants to play with something she has. It's important that they both realize that sharing is good for them. It teaches them patience and kindness. I strive to set a good example for them when it comes to learning how to share. I am hoping they will find that sharing can actually be fun and leave them feeling happy by doing nice things to others. I generally never punish my older daughter when she refuses to share, so one way she can better understand how to share is by having things that only she is allowed to play with and her sister is not (because she is too young).... a necklace or a sticker for example. Both are potential choking hazards when in the hands of a ten month old. She is not only learning how to share, but she is learning that certain things are potentially dangerous for her little sister, and in part, "looks out" for her when she has something too small in her hand. She herself is like a little mother hen. And the next time my younger daughter wants something that my older daughter has, I just remind her to let her sister take a turn while she plays with a necklace. So far sharing has been fun. Let's hope it continues :)
