Saying no to him, explaining to him, speaking to him in a normal way that he understands for his age, will shape attitudes that he will put into practice in the future.
Sharing is not easy for a young child. It is a way of socializing that you must learn little by little. At home, if you have siblings or with friends, you will witness situations that require action to be taken. Let's see what to do with children who arrive at kindergarten and how they have to assimilate this routine without making it imperative.
The development of a child prior to arrival at kindergarten
The little boy, who does not attend crecheLearn to live surrounded by other people. Mainly the child is with his parents, or at least receives from them the first teachings and those that really mean in his life. The child of less than 2-3 years begins in rules and routines in a more superficial way, however they already serve him. Saying no to him, explaining to him, speaking to him in a normal way that he understands for his age, will shape attitudes that he will put into practice in the future.
The child who lives with his parents already hears how they tell him not to touch depending on what things, or that he cannot access or use objects or electronic devices. He is told that this is from Mom or Dad and it can break. The fathers, mainly, they tell the child: "Don't take that. I won't let you. It's mine". The message that is sent to him is that "it" is not his and therefore he cannot play with it.
The child's personality and independence
The little one is a sponge, he absorbs everything and imitates everything. Situations in which he must play or interact with other children will arise conflicts when it comes to sharing. The child has his toys and wants to play with others, but without them taking his own. Do not force the child to share, especially if he does not want to or does not understand it yet. Each child has his character and way of acting or deciding.
It takes a little time for a small child to see himself as an independent being from his mother. When you realize it, thinks about himself and his needs and does not notice those of others or you don't think you need to get involved. The child does not yet have that capacity for empathy, and that will not arrive until approximately 6 years of age. It can be explained that it will be fun to play one with the toys of others. Then each one will return home with their own, in the case of bringing their own toys and what is in the nursery is for everyone.
Sharing in the nursery
In kindergarten things are done in common, situations and experiences are shared with other classmates and teachers.
In kindergarten the child will be one of the most in an environment full of people, where things are done in common, situations and experiences are shared with classmates and teachers. Situations will be generated in which as a child you must respond for yourself and not only act for your benefit. The little one will be immersed in group activities where objectives They are defined for everyone and they must help each other to achieve them.
Sharing will be a basic premise at the beginning of kindergarten, and the child must face it. Everyone can take what's in the nursery and conflicts and anger will arise. This is where you have to use the tools that age allows. The human being socializes, lives with others and therefore must help each other. Share:
