This may be where mkac and I meet in the middle - this idea is running roughshod over children. Or maybe I just remember my mother giving my stuff to others without asking me or sometimes without even telling me. And one of her excuses was sharing.
Well yea, but you seriously can't have a 3 yr old screaming "MINE, MINE" all the time. They need to be able to play with others. Seriously, I am not asking them to share their blankie or their bottle or anything. (not that 3 yr olds have bottles). Some things you share, some you don't. You do have to teach them to respect other's stuff too. Balance I guess. My kids had to share, but they had their own stuff as well.
