BETTER LIFE WHY SHARING AMONG SIBLINGS IS IMPORTANT We all want to raise children who are generous, kind, and considerate human beings. But when it comes to siblings and sharing, it often feels like a losing battle. Frequent fights over toys can be equally exhausting and completely absurd.

This way, the child who is waiting learns patience, while the child with the toy learns that it feels good to hand it over willingly when they are done.
