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.

New Baby! is a book written for toddlers about toddlers expecting a new addition to the family, and not knowing what to expect.In New Baby! toddlers expecting a new addition to the family don amp rsquo t know exactly what will happen, and it can be confusing and emotionally challenging.
