- 1 star
- Ages 2 to 6
- Daily
- Kindness and manners
Sharing is hard for toddlers and gets easier from age 3 or 4. Turn-taking with a timer is the gentlest way to learn it.
Try this week with your kids
Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.
Why it matters
Sharing and taking turns help kids play with others, make friends and handle waiting.
Steps for kids
- Ask: 'Can I have a turn when you finish?'
- Wait for the timer or for your turn.
- Play with your turn.
- Pass the toy when your turn ends.
