Toddler "Sharing"




Engaging in one of her favorite activites, CM filled her basket with three small items and began transferring them back and forth between the basket and a metal pot. This attracted the attention of AV who moved closer so she could join in. Children at this age sometime prefer solitary activities and friends are not always welcome but on this particular day C was open to sharing her items. A first communicated with C via jabber and eye contact, and then reached down into one of the containers and assisted with the transfer. C joined her and they took turns for several minutes before moving on to something else.
