Model Be supportive of others and avoid gossip. Discipline technique Use logical consequences and return the toy immediately to the child who owns it or had it. Never let the aggressive child keep a toy he or she has taken away. If the misbehavior recurs, use time-out. Praise Praise your child for asking another child if he or she may use a toy, and also for returning a toy when requested.
Generosity has to be the child's decision.
A child should not be punished for not sharing his or her toys. Some problems can be prevented by allowing your child to take only one toy to the playground until she reaches an age where she can share. When she's not playing with her toy, pick it up so that other children won't take possession of it. For toys that belong to the family rather than an individual, temporarily put them away if two children can't take turns with them. Praise Praise your child for any sharing.
