Ava holds tight to the other end. They both shriek! Here comes the teacher to help.
"I see you both want that carrot. But Ava's not done yet. JoJo, here's the asparagus--let's make a stew with Ava." JoJo does not want to make stew. She still wants the carrot.
"Ava, tell JoJo, 'You can have it when I'm done, '" the teacher says.
Ava says, "When I done!" Ideal for actual toddlers when parents are using the bestselling Busy Toddler's Guide to Actual Parenting: From Their First "no" to Their First Day of School (and Everything in Between) parenting book by Susie Allison, The Montessori Toddler: A Parent's Guide to Raising a Curious and Responsible Human Being by Simone Davies, illustrated by Hiyoko Imai, and Best practices in Toddler Discipline from 1 to 5 without tantrums: Effective Strategies for Developing and Helping your Child by Mary Simmons. Also includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers written by the authors about supporting toddlers' need for ownership. Excerpt: "Sharing" is simply not a concept that a young toddler can grasp...yet. It may seem counterintuitive, but in fact, encouraging full ownership, as the teacher does for JoJo in All Mine!, can actually hasten the development of generosity, since allowing the toddler to fully be in this phase of development hastens her mastery of the lessons about self that it provides. It is not until at least age three--when young children are developmentally ready to want acceptance from peers and have a firm understanding of the concept of self--that they can begin to want to share.
