Many parents face a phenomenon such as the selfishness of children, which is characteristic of children from 1.5 years of age. It is at this age that it is very difficult to explain to a child that it is necessary to share toys or sweets with others.
If someone takes the baby's things, he reacts with a lot of pain, because he thinks that they have not attacked his property, but his personality.

### One can consider some causes of infantile egoism.

- First, the approval of adults is an important cause of selfishness. **You can see the image in the playground, when the child showed aggression toward the neighbor who played his toy, and the mother at that time approved it with the following words: "That's right, do not give her her toy, otherwise it will break."**
- Secondly, one of the main reasons is the fact that parents devote very little time to the child while they work at work. As a result, there is a substitution of the time devoted to the material values of the parents. Therefore, these material values are very important for the baby, and nobody dares to touch them.
- Third, as mentioned above, egocentricity is characteristic of children 1.5 years of age, so greed is a manifestation of the position of the "I".

- Fourth, between two and three years, babies can be jealous of younger children and, therefore, be selfish.
- Fifth, it may seem strange, the cause of selfishness may be infantile shyness. For the shy child, especially the one who first went to kindergarten, a toy or a candy has incredible value, so he does not give it to anyone.
## How to teach the child not to be selfish, considering all these reasons?
If we consider selfishness is associated with shyness, it is simply necessary to prepare for kindergarten. It is possible to visit the adaptation group, walk through the kindergarten, talk about the kindergarten, there will be other children, etc. You can play with the child in "Kindergarten", read children's literature.

In no case and for any reason, force the child to share. If there is a conflict situation on the playground due to a toy, keep calm, do not yell, much less do not hit the child. Try inviting your child to share a toy with the partner. If it did not work, try to create a game situation to participate as much in the game. It will be difficult to do up to three years, because at this age children do not play together, but it is worth trying. If this does not help, offer another toy to the neighbor or change the attention of some of the children.
At the age of 3 to 5 years, children begin to play together, and this is a favorable time to educate generosity. Now the children can share or exchange toys for teamwork.
A good way to prevent and correct selfishness in children is to play. You can use the plot: role play, everyday situations. And it also fits into the game: dramatic and theatrical games in which you can beat fairy tales with a typical plot. This can also be attributed to the reception of fairy tale. You can find a collection of fairy tales about correction.
***Another universal method of education is its own example. Do not be selfish yourself. Share treats with all family members, do not go to visit empty-handed, etc.***
