My daughter is very good about sharing some things, like snacks, but her and the sitter’s daughter go back and forth with each other over toys. They are 2 yrs. and almost 3 years, and both like to say Mine. Do they ever learn to get along with each other that way?
The sitter is great with them, she’s good at dealing with it, and trying to teach them the right way. It’s just one of those things that seems like no matter how often you try, it doesn’t work. But I guess it will eventually when they both understand better…

I’m 25 and still learning to share.
yes, after 3 it will change drastically.
LOL, my 4 year old is still learning how to share….so you prolly have another year or 2 before anything…Good luck
They have to be taught to share. It’s not something that comes natural. Your sitter should be working on this every day!
Yes she will learn to share, its always hard for kids to share anything that they value or really like. You can practice at home with her and give her a toy then hold out your hand and ask nicely if you can have it please and then say thank you and make a big deal about when she does share.
Good luck.
you have to help them learn to share…it’s not gonna happen if you leave it up to them…but my motto is what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is mine and if I think it is mine it’s mine. good luck
At any age you will just have to keep working with them to teach them to share. If they dont share toys and such, take it away from them till they learn to share. Or You can say Ok you can play with it for a little bit but then its her turn you got to share. Then set a time limit and when her time is up make her hand over the toy.
I think adventually they will get the hang of it. My son is also almost 3 and he is not very good at sharing. Just be patient and try to explain to them that sharing is nice. They’ll come around.
Well my brother is 5 and still needs to be told/reminded to share so it depends on how well you teach them
37. It was so for me, at least.
yes they will learn to share, toddlers and juniors r very egosentric, but with time, theyll share everything!! around age 4 and above..
My a little older than two year old Is a terrible sharer. But I’m working on him. Tell your sitter not to ignore the scables and make them share. If she does that then both the children will be better shares by three or four. But some kids are just mean. (my son is just mean….and once again I work on it everyday)
it doesnt hurt to start teaching to share from a young age,but while as a infant they dont have a clue really…now is a great time to teach them..they can understand and they know what they are doing for the most part.my lil one started sharing around 2 but every now and then there is that one toy she cannot refuse and has to have it all to her self.it will get easier as they grow but they all always find or have that one thing they dont want to share…alot of adults are like that too….so long as your kids can share and get along for the most part i would say everything is going fine and that your doing a good job at raising your child.
All kids are different learning to share…depends on the home circumstances eg.. if they are an only child or have older brothers and sisters and are used to having all their toys etc to themselves….but if you try to teach them early that they have to share things. . if your daughter takes something from the sitters child which belongs to her (the sitters childs toy) then take one of your daughters toys and give it to the other child and vice versa, or if your sitters child takes your daughters toy and your daughter takes it back then take it from your daughter and give it back to the other child telling your daughter she has to share
