Free Downloads Sharing Time (Toddler Tools)
Sometimes it’s fun to share, and sometimes it’s hard. This book offers toddlers simple choices (take turns, use the toy together, wait for another time) to make sharing easier, and shows them where to turn for help when sharing is difficult. Little ones learn that sharing can mean double the fun—and sharing a while can make someone smile! Includes tips for parents and caregivers.

I bought this book for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She is well behaved; but like most toddlers, she sometimes has trouble sharing toys or things that she thinks is hers (e.g., swings, slides at the park). When I bought the book, I didn't expect much; but I've been plesantly surprised. The first time we read it, she took it and studied it. I pointed out the children that are happy and unhappy. The page that she keeps coming back to includes two children fighting, "She might take it." "He might break it." "Mine, mine, mine." She frowns at that page and tells me the children are sad.Now, when she has a conflict with another child (or her parents), I just remind her of the Sharing Time book. She gets a thoughtful face and then usually shares. This book seems to have helped my daughter develop more empathy for others. Thanks!Now, I'm looking for a trick to get her to eat vegetables!
got this book hoping it would help my 3year old wuth issues he was having at Daycare. I was about to pull out my hair, thinking he was going to be labled as a brat. Well I bought this book and others in the collection and it helped. I read this book and Hands Are Not For Hitting ever night for 2 weeks and now he is having "Good Days" at daycare now. I still read them to him a few nights a week, plus he really likes them. So if your having probs with your child try these books.
Sharing Time is just the ticket if you have a toddler who refuses to take turns or relinquish a possession without a tantrum. As the book says, some things are fun to share -- like smiles and hugs. But when it comes to favorite things, the fear of having it broken or taken away forever is quite real.I purchased two copies of Sharing Time for cousins who frequently play with each other or in a group. This book is a wonderful tool for parents to avoid the tantrums before they start! The lessons here are valuable, and are presented in a clear and cheerful way with cute illustrations.I highly recommend Sharing Time.
Got this for my 2.5 year old. She asks to read this at bedtime. It's easy for her to understand. She likes the simple pictures and understands the importance of sharing and how "sometimes the answer you'll hear is no."
I love these series of books! I am collecting them all as I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old foster sons with behavioral issues and these books are fun for them to look at and it gets on their level. We are really working on sharing right now the constant fighing over toys is crazy.
I was given this as a gift, and then have since gifted it to friends with small kids. I love how it is a quick read, straight to the point, but really drives home the point of sharing. My daughter really enjoys books and when we are talking about sharing she will often repeat the phrase "Sharing is kind and Caring" which I think is a nice message. I have a few other manners/emotions books from this group and they are all really nice. Plus the kids LOVE to read them, they pick them out on their own so that is nice as well. Also recommend "On the Go Time".
We bought this book for our 23 month old and we love it. We read it at least twice everyday. I would recommend this book to parents who would like to help teach their toddler to share,which is a challenge. This book does explain that some kids don't want to share and what you can do.
I bought this because someone told me they love the "Hands are Not for Hitting" book by the same author (we bought that one at the same time as this one, and it is very good!) but I was pretty disappointed in Sharing Time. I think it's far too confusing, at least for my 2-year old because it shows kids NOT sharing. One part even says "mine mine mine" which he then loves to repeat. Very counterproductive. Some parts are ok but overall I wouldn't recommend this one.
