Build social sharing at home through warm, playful turn-taking — rolling a ball back and forth, taking turns with pages of a book, praising acts of giving, and modelling sharing yourself. Keep sessions short, predictable and joyful, and follow your child's lead, as sharing develops gradually across the early years.

*Sharing isn't just about toys — it's a child's first lesson in taking turns, reading a friend's face, and feeling the joy of giving. And it's beautifully easy to grow at home.*

## In short
Social sharing grows through warm, playful turn-taking — passing toys back and forth, naming feelings, and celebrating small acts of giving. You don't need special equipment; everyday moments at home are the best classroom. Keep it short, positive and predictable, and let your child see you sharing too.

## Easy ways to build social sharing at home
**Turn-taking games (the foundation)**
- Roll a ball back and forth, saying "my turn… your turn" — this teaches the rhythm of sharing.
- Build a block tower together, each adding one block at a time.
- Read a book and take turns turning the pages.

**Make sharing feel good**
- Notice and praise the moment: "You gave your sister a biscuit — that made her so happy!"
- Use a visual timer or song for taking turns with a favourite toy, so waiting feels fair and predictable.
- Start with sharing things that are easy to give up before working towards treasured items.

**Be the model**
- Share out loud: "I'm going to share my orange with you."
- Play simple snack-sharing or tea-party games where giving is the whole point.
- Name feelings during play — "He looks sad, shall we share?" — to build the empathy underneath sharing.

Keep sessions short and joyful. If your child struggles to wait or seems upset, that's normal — sharing develops gradually across the early years. Follow their lead and celebrate effort, not perfection.
