Sharing – many a toddler upset and a parent’s frustration/embarrassment is caused by children not sharing. The concept of sharing is something most parents try to instil in their children from a young age and while it sounds simple, learning to share is quite a complex life skill for children to master. In Tuning In, ZERO TO THREE’s national parent survey, 43% of parents surveyed thought that children should be able to master sharing by age 2. In fact, these skills develop between 3.5 to 4 years old.
