2.10 dd really struggling with sharing - any tips?

[sacbina]

Looking for some wise mumsnetters tips on how to help 2.10 dd share with 1 yo ds.

Obviously she's only young but she seems to be getting worse rather than better. Also worse now that playgroup has finished and more limited contact with other similar aged children to play with.

Have had some success sharing ds toys with her, and hers with him. And she also brings him a toy, anyones, when he's upset. it doesnt help that she loves books but ds tries to destroy them all the time! She also refuses to let him into the playhouse in the garden. Full stop. He just wants to open and shut the doors :-)

Help you wise people you!

Julia Donaldson's book 'Sharing a shell' is good. We also have a book called 'Taking turns' (IIRC). These books help / remind DH and I to talk about sharing with DS from time to time.

she loves Julia Donaldson, will def get that. have been reading a book on sharing and taking turns, but i don't think she finds it particularly interesting! the language is too complex so i talk about the pictures, but even i find it a bit tedious!

With my dd i make a big deal about sharing with her so i might have a nice thing to eat and ask her if she wants to share with me (and apple or little orange that can be shared slice by slice chocolate buttons ). Then make a big song and dance about how we shared. Like when her dad comes home i say 'we shared an apple and dd is sooo good at sharing' etc.
Also recognise it would be bloody annoying if someone kept getting into your stuff and ruining it.

she is very proud of herself when she does share - fits, tots etc, so that's a positive. but ibv obv ds doesn't understand and just goes for everything. if its not nailed down or out of reach he tries to eat it!

erm, food and toys
