How do you teach a preschooler to be generous? They are still so, naturally, self-centered and egotistical.

Here's a short list of things we can do to help our little guys and gals fight the overwhelming urge to hog that toy!

    Demonstrate generosity
    Discuss other people's wants and needs
    Teach them that sharing can be temporary
    Show that you disapprove of selfishness
    Pile on the praise when they make a generous choice
    Set some important toys aside during playgroups
    Let them learn from their peers
    Look for the reason behind their stinginess


What age do you see them getting out of this phase?
