I have a 2.5 year old daughter. The problem is that she doesn't want to share her toys - she believes that all the toys that are bought for her are only hers, and no child who comes to us has the right to play with them. Is it that age? How to deal with it? How to talk?
Don't worry for now. This is the age when you take your property very seriously and prefer to have all the coolest things in the world. It would be good to set a good example, talk about the benefits of sharing, but also show that there are things and things that we don't share. Show her the difference between, for example, a toothbrush, socks and your favorite doll. Please also leave her a number of toys that she can never and under any circumstances not share (e.g. an absolutely beloved cuddly toy) and be consistent. Sometimes it happens that we, adults, are reluctant to share our books, pens or perfumes, and we require children to share their items without protest. Please do not panic yet and give your little daughter some quiet time to develop.
