Sharing

Trey Davey is a people pleaser. Ask him for something, and he’s only too willing to give it too you. He generally values your approval more than he covets his positions. Now, if you take his toy from him, as Benji often does, he’ll get very upset and try to forcefully retrieve it, but if you ask him nicely for his toy, he will often hand it over gladly. The concept of possession usually doesn’t occur to children until around their second birthday. Once they make that cognitive breakthrough they begin understanding the language associated with playing together and taking turns. We hope!
