Like most young children, Ben and Jack have a hard time with sharing. Ben is at the age where he knows that sharing is the right thing but chooses not to do it. Jack is still learning what it means to share and take turns. He doesn't understand that it's not always his turn. It seems like whenever one of them has something, the other always wants it. Ben has learned that if Jack has something that he wants, he can trick Jack into giving it to him by giving him another toy to play with as he sneaks the toy he wants out of Jack's hand. There are many fights over toys, there are many times where I am taking things away because they can't share it and of course, there are many tears over not getting what they wanted.
Here are some pictures I took this morning where you can witness a normal confrontation between Ben and Jack when they both want the same thing.
You can tell that Ben is already claiming the toy
Jack starts to eye it
He goes in for it while Ben yells at him
It ends in tears when Jack realizes he's not getting the toy
We have a lot of work to do when it comes to sharing
