Hi,
Have you got any ideas for activities to learn 4years old how to share...
we have sand-glass ,but she would just stand and wait for her turn...she is constantly taking offence and wants to lead every activity ...it's not fair for other children and I don't want her to be constantly upset...:(

Lots of games with you involved too that require turn-taking. Ignoring if she gets upset (she might be doing it just to get your attention) and praising to the hilt if she waits and takes her turn.

Like Miffy says you have to teach some children that wanted behaviour is better than sulking and being silly.

We play a lot of turn taking games and we have song time / reading sessions / group time every day where the children hold a teddy to speak if they are struggling with waiting or sharing time / listening skills etc.

Pop to the library and look for some sharing books too :D
