This episode we discuss Forced sharing with our territorial toddlers!

Understanding forced sharing

Forced sharing is when a child is asked to give up their toy or belongings to another child, even if they don't want to. This can happen in various situations, such as during playdates, at school, or in the park.

Encouraging positive sharing habits

While forced sharing can create conflict and negative feelings, there are ways to encourage positive sharing habits in children.

Alternative approaches to sharing

Finally, it's important to remember that sharing isn't the only way to encourage positive social behavior in children.


New Age Mamas is a conversation for a specific generation of parents. It’s a space where the unique challenges and aspirations of Gen Z and Millennial mothers are centered, moving beyond simple advice to explore the real work of reshaping family dynamics. This podcast digs into the simultaneous navigation of timeless parenting struggles and entirely modern dilemmas, all through the lens of conscious change. The core mission is about more than survival; it’s focused on the intentional breaking of generational cycles, the practical application of gentle parenting principles, and the essential practice of self-care. Episodes are built on shared experience, where listening often feels like connecting with a friend who gets it. You’ll hear honest discussions about pouring into ourselves as individuals so we can show up more fully for our families, and the power of building a supportive community. The dialogue here provides both knowledge and tangible resources, but its greater value is in fostering connection-reminding every mom that her journey, with its stumbles and triumphs, is part of a collective story. Tune in for a resource that meets you where you are, offering solidarity and substance for the complex, rewarding path of contemporary motherhood.
