Does your baby refuse to go to the playground for fear that other children will take his toys? Don't worry that he grows greedy. Such a period occurs in the life of every child. Just help him become kind and teach him how to share.
Instructions
Step 1
In the presence of the baby, divide fruits and sweets for all family members - each one a piece, even a small one. If in your family it is not customary to divide everything equally, and only the child receives goodies, he will not learn to be kind.
Step 2
More often ask the baby to treat loved ones. If the baby is naughty and does not want to finish the porridge, never tell him that you will give the food to another boy (uncle, aunt, dog, etc.).
Step 3
Play object games with your toddler that develop a sense of justice. For example, treat a bear, a bunny and a doll with an apple, dividing it equally, and take turns driving them in a stroller or car.
Step 4
Exchange objects with your child, having previously discussed that one is his and the other is yours. Thank and praise your child as they play to create positive emotions in them.
Step 5
Ask your baby for his favorite toy, hold it close to you and return it immediately, not forgetting to thank. The child will know that his thing will definitely return to him.
Step 6
In moments of greed, do not evaluate the child's behavior by calling him greedy, but talk more about your emotions. Tell him that you are unpleasant when he does this, that you will be glad if he allows the kids to play with him.
Step 7
Teach your child to communicate. Explain to him that if he wants to play with another child's toy, he must offer him his in exchange. If the baby is in doubt, reassure him by assuring him that his thing will certainly be returned to him. If the exchange has taken place, praise both of them.
Step 8
Cultivate your child's love and gift-giving skills. Make pleasant surprises for family and friends with him. Let it be crafts that he made with your help, a learned poem or song, or a gift you bought in a store. The kid will wait for these moments with impatience and joy. A sense of satisfaction will allow him to feel magnanimous and generous, and gradually he will understand that, in giving, you can get much more in exchange.
