Distinguish shared resources from personal possessions. Include asking permission, taking turns, and respecting a refusal; sharing need not mean surrendering a treasured object.
Ask which items belonged to the group and which belonged to one person. Suggest a fair turn-taking plan for a different pretend game.
Show values through a character's choices rather than preaching.
Ask open questions after reading and allow the child to disagree.
Revisit the character's choices when a similar situation comes up in everyday life.
Create a story where the hero asks before borrowing, takes turns with a friend, and finds something they both want to share. Respect a choice to keep a special belonging private.
