A big part of teaching kids to socialize is for them to learn how to share. Whether it’s toys or food, kids need to know they can’t always have everything for themselves. Sharing is caring, after all, right? But what about sharing things that they’ve won fair and square? Should they learn to give those up as well?
One mom shared her dilemma about whether she was right not to make her son share his raffle toy prize. She claims other parents started pressuring her and the boy to give the prize to another boy who didn’t win anything. The mother initially refused, but after her husband started wondering whether they should’ve encouraged the boy to give his prize away, she started doubting her decision as well. So she decided to ask the Internet’s opinion.
