Sharing

Is your LO better at it in some situations than others?

We had friends over for dinner tonight with a Nov 2010 boy, and S was having a *really* hard time sharing on his "home turf." But the teachers say he's doing lots better with sharing at daycare.

When does your LO share easily (if ever) and when does your LO have a hard time?

    I've seen C get a little grabby at home, at other's homes, and at DC but overall I'd say he's a great sharer, for a toddler at least!  I can totally get though that LO might not want to share as well at home.  That's "their" stuff while DC is more community, KWIM?  Maybe it would help to have him share his toys, snacks, etc. with you at home to practice?

    C is a fabulous sharer - if he doesn't feel threatened. He'll share his food, his toys, his whatever, but if he's with a kid who is all mine, mine, mine its almost like he realizes he can be grabby too. Its weird.

    FWIW, its always hard for kids to share on their own turf. I'd say its totally normal.

    J is not a great sharer. I've been trying to work with him. Friday at the park he was playing with the steering wheel thing & another little boy wanted a turn. J did agree to share by letting the kid hold the wheel with him, but threw a fit when I told him it was the boy's turn. He will share at home with dh & I, but we haven't had any kids over in a while.

    The sharing struggles were uncharacteristic, and the other child wasn't a grabby one -  which is why they got me wondering. I think seeing another kid play with a treasured toy must have seemed different than when we play with his toys. We'll just have to keep working on taking turns and trading toys when we have guests!

    Actually, now that you mention trading toys, we have a buddy that we swap toys with sometimes.  Each boy gets to take home a toy or two from the other for a couple weeks and then we trade back.  We do it just to keep toys interesting for the kids, but maybe it does help with sharing.

    Nate will share everything but food.  Try to take his food and you'll witness a melt down. :)  Kind of like his mommy... He does well sharing toys and things though.  If someone else takes his toy, he doesn't really care.  He does have an attachment to his blanket though.  He won't even share that with Mommy.

    B's generally a good sharer, unless you're talking about the cozy coupe or another riding car.  He'll cut you if you get between him and his car.

    A shares fine with me or DH but it's because our turns last like 15 seconds.  I've noticed when we do playgroups (which has been rare as hot as it has been ) it's a little harder for him to understand the concept.  He always says/signs "share" when he wants his turn so we try and have the kids take turns but sometimes ends up in meltdown territory if it is a particularly fun/fabulous toy.  He'll get better with more practice and with a new baby brother/sister coming soon so I'm not too worried.

    G shares with DH, my step-daughter, and myself just fine, but if it's anybody else, I often have to coax her into it, whether we're at home or not.  My mom claims it's because of daycare (so many kids clamoring for toys), but I think it's just the age she's at right now.  And this post kind of confirms that.

    Ava will share anything with anybody. I attribute it to her having "friends" who are older than her and have always taken things from her for as long as she can remember. She usually just gives it up and moves on, including food. 

    ETA: And it's weird because she's not *usually* an adaptable child.

    She's generally ok with sharing except with Duplos.  She will cut you (including H and me!) if you try to touch her Duplos or the Duplos at daycare.  It's pretty bad. For a while around 16 months we went through a bad phase where she did not share anything with anyone and she freaked out if H or I picked up another child, so she didn't even want to share "her" people.

    DS mostly lets other kids take his toy from him before he even realizes what happened, lol, poor kid. When his cousin took something from him last week, he shook his finger at him & told him "no".

    For Nathan, it depends on the toy & situation. He is bad at home, but not so bad when at daycare or my brother's house. He will fight for toys if someone tries to take it from him though.
