It’s Okay Not To Share
“It’s OK Not to Share shines the light on commonly accepted practices and flips them upside down. You’ll discover how to help your child develop generosity — by not forcing her to share. How to help your child find friends — by not making her play with everyone. How to practice kindness — by not saying sorry. And how to teach literacy in unlikely ways — say, during a temper tantrum.
It’s a celebration of play, but not a free-for-all. Learn how to set the right limits and accept all feelings. Solidly based in child development, this book is a critical guide for young children and the adults who love them.”
