Sharing Time is just the ticket if you have a toddler who refuses to take turns or relinquish a possession without a tantrum. As the book says, some things are fun to share -- like smiles and hugs. But when it comes to favorite things, the fear of having it broken or taken away forever is quite real.

I purchased two copies of Sharing Time for cousins who frequently play with each other or in a group. This book is a wonderful tool for parents to avoid the tantrums before they start! The lessons here are valuable, and are presented in a clear and cheerful way with cute illustrations.

I highly recommend Sharing Time.

I bought this book for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She is well behaved; but like most toddlers, she sometimes has trouble sharing toys or things that she thinks is hers (e.g., swings, slides at the park). When I bought the book, I didn't expect much; but I've been plesantly surprised. The first time we read it, she took it and studied it. I pointed out the children that are happy and unhappy. The page that she keeps coming back to includes two children fighting, "She might take it." "He might break it." "Mine, mine, mine." She frowns at that page and tells me the children are sad.

Now, when she has a conflict with another child (or her parents), I just remind her of the Sharing Time book. She gets a thoughtful face and then usually shares. This book seems to have helped my daughter develop more empathy for others. Thanks!

Now, I'm looking for a trick to get her to eat vegetables!

got this book hoping it would help my 3year old wuth issues he was having at Daycare. I was about to pull out my hair, thinking he was going to be labled as a brat. Well I bought this book and others in the collection and it helped. I read this book and Hands Are Not For Hitting ever night for 2 weeks and now he is having "Good Days" at daycare now. I still read them to him a few nights a week, plus he really likes them. So if your having probs with your child try these books.

My almost 2 year year old loves this one and she always hands it to me and says, "Sharing Time, Sharing Time!" I love that it teaches her about sharing but maybe it is more for kids a bit older than her. In any event, it's a great book. She sees from the illustrations that kids are happier when they share and that is key.

The bold, simple illustrations and succinct text seem to really appeal to my 22-month-old. He loves this book, asks for it by name, and walks around saying lines from it! I think it's helping him develop a rudimentary understanding of courtesy and empathy, which has been awesome. Recommended for parents of 18-36 month old toddlers.

Has been helpful in talking with our 2 yr old about sharing. He loves this series of books, actually, and asked for them repeatedly in the weeks after we bought them!

This book my son really loves as well as the Manners Book. He is 28 months old and an only child and still has a problem with sharing. Even though he likes the book I really do not think the concept of "sharing" has sunk in yet...hopefully soon.
