[quote=Anonymous]I actually think it’s harder to parent this method, but I do think it’s beneficial when they’re young. When kids start preschool they have to share absolutely everything and most kids do fine with it, but some have a really hard time. Talking to those parents, they often have clean delineation of toys in their house, so the children don’t have practice stretching themselves and learning to share even if they don’t want to. Special stuffed animals are a different story, but if little larla got blocks for her birthday, why should larlo never get to play with them just because larla said so? As they get older and interests change, it becomes easier for the kids to manage this s they won’t always be into the same thing. But while they’re young, it might be harder to manage the sharing since the parent doesn’t get to say “don’t touch, it’s larlos” but instead may deal with the aftermath of the argument, but it’s ultimately beneficial to the children to learn that they don’t always get their own things, they have to take turns even if they don’t want to, and sharing is a kind thing to do.
