I do not want my little seventeen-mouth-old girl to be selfish. I want to teach her to ahare her toys with other children. When ahe is playing with her doll and our neighbor drops in, should I take the doll from her and giro it to the neighbor's child, who ia two montha older, wad erica for it? Of course tout daughter doesn’t want to give up her doll. In fact, you can be thankful that she doesn’t as it indicates that ahe ia a normal child and hat a will and a mind of her own. Should you forcibly^take the doll from her and give it to the neighbor child, it certainly wouldn’t miraculously make her unselfish.. It probably would do just the opposite. The spirit of hnselfishnesa comes from within; it can’t be forced upon one. If you should take the dpi] from her'and give it to the neighbor child, your daughter probably would feel bewildered and resentful. Her sense of* security would be lessened as she discovered that the one upon whom she _thougiit she could depend had “turned against her.” So in'answer to your ques4k»B,let me say “no.”*-__—_^. j~.L .Z1.:■ It is essential, to be sure, that children should learn to be unselfish and to share their toys with others. It should be remembered, however, that these learnings come slowly and that we must not expect our children to be morq unselfish than ia normal for their age. Your seventeen-month-old daughter is almost too young to learn even the value of taking turns. As she gets oldest however, and increasingly plays with other children, she gradually will learn that it pays to take turns. As she learns really to like other children, there will be a greater incentive to ahare with them. i - t Why don’t you have several different toys, and perhaps dolls, on hand ho that when the neighbor girl visits there will be a doll for her, too, even though it Will not be the favorite doll of your daughter? Scenes frequently can be avoided by directing the attention of children away from that which they cannot have to something that is interesting to them. Have something planned for the neighbor child when she comes. On the other hand, it may be that if the neighbor girl brings her own doll when she visits, both she and your daughter will be willing to exchange dolls for a while, although it is by no means certain that this will be the case. If you can tactfully arrange the sithation so that your little girl’s doll is not in evidence when the neighbors visit, that may help.
