  1. We share because it makes others happy, and it makes us happy too!
  2. When you share a toy, two friends can play instead of one.
  3. Sharing helps us make friends and take turns kindly.
  4. Ooh, kindness can grow, because shared smiles get passed along!

For grown-ups

Sharing helps people cooperate and build friendships. Young children learn to share gradually: understanding others' feelings and taking turns develops through the preschool years. Praising kind actions and modeling sharing helps.

Ask your child: How did you feel the last time someone shared with you?
