REFLECTIVE JOURNAL

WEEK 11
This is my 11th week, in this week I have learnt sometimes children never share the things to
their friends. The growing child develops attachments to things as well as persons. This
ability to form strong attachments is important to being an emotionally healthy person. The
one-year-old has difficulty sharing her mommy; the two-year-old has difficulty sharing her
teddy bear. Some children get so attached to a toy that the raggedy old doll becomes part of
the childs self.
They care about themselves and their possessions and do not think about what the other child
wants or feels. As a teacher create attitudes and an environment that encourage your child to
want to share.Respect the normal possessiveness of children while you encourage and model
sharing.
But, given guidance and generosity, the selfish two-year-old can become a generous three or
four-year-old. As children begin to play with each other and cooperate in their play, they
begin to see the value of sharing. Engage them to share things to their friends.
