Sharing is hard because kids often hear “share” as: “Give it up right now.” We’re going to teach turn-taking, which feels fair and predictable.
What kids need:
✅ a clear rule
✅ predictable timing
✅ words to use
Kid script: “I’m using it. You can have it when I’m done.” or “Let’s take turns.”
Parent script (calm + firm): “We’re taking turns. Do you want timer turns or a trade?”
