Sharing..

I took my daughter to a birthday party today (role play areas) and she wanted the trolley filled with kitchen stuff. However if another child went near it she was screaming and crying to the point I had to remove her from the room. The whole group (adults) stopped and looked. I went back in after she calmed down, the same situation happened again.. another parent rolled their eyes and the whole group was staring again. I could of cried! I've been so upset all day about the situation. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated. I have recently given birth so my toddler has got a lot..emotions go from 0 to 100.

Same here! My little boy really struggles with sharing at the moment too. We recently went to my friends little boys 1st birthday party where there were lots of other children and he got upset if another child so much as went near the toys he was playing with 🤦 he is fine with 1 or 2 other kids but seems to get stressed in large groups. So I know how you feel! Also so rude that one of the other parents rolled their eyes! She's not badly behaved, she's just being a toddler and learning to share is something that takes time to learn x

My LB is the same at a local playgroup we go to when we both have our day off. It's very common at this age sharing doesn't really happen until closer to 4. I usually comment I know its hard to share etc alittle louder if anyone around but I haven't had any eyes rolling. We try and play games at home where we take it in turns or we share. Ignore the others focus on your LO. In time it will come x

If toddler was the first one who took some toy and doesn’t want to share it’s totally ok, don’t push toddlers to share. It’s normal behavior for toddler and it’s harmful if parent force them to share. They will get to it later, I think it’s British approach to force toddlers to be polite while they are not yet ready physiologically. You try to be polite in front of other parents and are not nice to your child. I was a witness when father took away some toy from his child to share with other and his child was crying badly, come on. It’s not a proper way to learn toddlers to share. Give them some time and when they are ready they will share. Show by your example, don’t break their nature
