Dear Marianne: Are there any toys that will help my preschool daughter learn to share? Peggy, Cleveland, OH, Mom of Katie (3 1/2)

I would suggest toys that promote turn-taking. Board and card games encourage this while having fun. Be sure to play with her and really emphasize how proud you are when your child waits for a turn. Clapping, verbal encouragement and positive reinforcement will make this all part of the game. She may soon realize that sharing can be fun.

The 24" X 52" unbreakable distortion mirror is made of a thin, flexible and reflectible material that is easily mounted onto any wall, door or flat surface by non-marking adhesive tabs. A child can manipulate his/her reflection in the mirror (skinny, large, short, tall, funny, scary) by adjusting the sticky tabs. The mirror can also be rolled for storage. As a fun accessory to a playroom, playing with the mirror can stimulate a child’s imagination and creativity.
