What do toddlers have a difficult time with when playing?
A
Sharing
B
using manners
C
making friends
D
throwing a tantrum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Highlights: Sharing is hard for toddlers because it involves thinking about someone else’s feelings, wants, and needs and they haven’t developed the ability to do that yet. Self-centeredness in toddlerhood is a normal part of development, and not a reflection of parenting or caregiving.

Detailed explanation-2: -This behavior may embarrass and frustrate parents, but an unwillingness to share is perfectly normal at this age! In Tuning In, ZERO TO THREE’s national parent survey, 43% of parents surveyed thought that children should be able to master sharing by age 2. In fact, these skills develop between 3.5 to 4 years old.
