my sharing little man

well, as far as i know based on my personal experience as a nurse handling toddler patients, your child's sharing behaviour is something unusual. good thing that he shares his toys with some other people as this means that your child has no inferiority aside from the fact that he probably is kind hearted because common to toddlers are the attitudes/ beheviors which parents should understand. toddlers have limited abilities to communicate although they can say a few words which ideas for them mean different from yours. toddlers can try your patience as they are moving like squirrels. they drive parents crazy and they are always on the go and often play until they run out of gas. toddlers cannot share, they are very possessive . "no" and "mine" are their favorite words and are quite willing to hit or bite just to get whatever they want. very challenging, isn't it?! your child's attitude is just something to be thankful for! you probably are a great mother that is why he is acting some good manners. cheers to a good mom!

I have always taught my kids to share what they have with others. A wonderful concept! However, when my son started Kindegarten I realized that along with that I had to teach him about the ugly people in the world that will take advantage of a nice little boy that shares and gives everything he has to others. For example: For his Birthday his grandmother gave him $20. He brought it to school with him without my knowledge and gave it to another 5 or 6 year old becasue the kid said he wanted to borrow it. Well, needless to say he lost his money and never saw it again. It is sad to have to teach them about the bad things that can happen in the world. Unfortunatly, it is just as important to teach them about caution as it is the golden rule of sharing.
