If you've ever felt stuck in the middle of a playdate tug-of-war, you're not alone. Most of us were taught that sharing means handing over a toy the second someone else wants it, but that approach often leads to frustration (for both kids and adults).
This guide offers a different path.
Inside, you’ll learn:
Why toddlers struggle with sharing (and what they’re actually capable of)
What to say in the moment to reduce conflict and build trust
How to support both the child using the toy and the one who’s waiting
Whether you're parenting toddlers or preschoolers, this guide will help you move beyond forced sharing toward something deeper: mutual respect, growing patience, and moments of kindness that come from within.
