I watched my daughter-in-law teach here 7 month old to share his sock by sitting in a circle with him, his dad, his mom and me. She asked him if he would share his sock and held out her hand, then she handed it off to the dad, who gave it to me, who in turn gave it back to the baby. He laughed and enjoyed the game. We have continued to do this with him, incorporating other children, as his circle of friends has expanded. He has figured out the even if he gives his favorite item away, it will eventually come back.

It was one of the most freeing moments of parenting a toddler when a speaker at our mom's group said that our two-year olds shouldn't be punished or highly pressured to share because they really weren't at that stage of development yet. Always good to have the information that helps us to parent our best!

We have definitely been through that whole "It's mine" phase. I just ask her how she would feel if someone didn't want to share with her. It usually does the trick!
