Pediatrician's Advice, Start Teaching Little Ones to Share at Toddler Age

Saran Dokter Anak, Mulai Ajarkan Si Kecil Berbagi di Usia Balita

Dream - Taking turns playing in the playground, sharing toys or empathizing with peers, these social skills are very important for children as they grow up and go to school.

"To be able to share and evoke empathy cannot be instant. According to Dr. Citra Amelinda, a pediatric specialist, the desire to share and be aware of being a social being does not simply arise in a child."

This is in line with the socio-emotional development of the child. "A newborn baby considers themselves as an inseparable part of their mother. It is not until they enter the toddler stage, around one year old and above, that they realize they are independent individuals who have sovereignty. The feeling of stubbornness starts to appear. They refuse to be controlled, start saying Noooo, and have their own territory," said Dr. Citra.

When entering the age of one year or more, the child's personality begins to emerge. They will show things that they like and dislike.

Including when someone holds or takes possession of it. The child will cry or have a tantrum when their toy or play area is used by another child.

"At that age, according to Dr. Citra, it is important to set an example and demonstrate how to take turns playing, sharing snacks, or playing together with friends."

Children need to be accustomed to being with others, there are limits or boundaries that must be followed. "It is important to teach boundaries to children. That we live together in this world. Whatever we do, there are consequences. Including taking someone else's toy. Children will not realize the norms of life if they are not taught. Especially toddlers, when playing together, they must be waited for and reminded of the rules, for example, they have the right to play until it's finished," message from Dr. Citra.

Indeed, at the age of 2 years, children are not able to do it well because their emotional development is not yet mature.

At least, the child already knows the concept of 'sharing' and 'taking turns' when playing with friends, and this will greatly influence their personality and emotions in the future. If the child is not willing to share or take turns, do not immediately scold or label them as stingy, but train them again and demonstrate it repeatedly until the child gets used to it. "The best way to teach a child to share is by setting an example from an early age," said Dr. Citra.

Father and mother can create activities that take turns playing. For example, when coloring with crayons or watercolors but using a brush or pencil alternately. Then share drawing paper or canvas. This can help children understand the concept of social interaction in an easier way. Source: IG @citramelinda
