Are you tired of feeling embarrassed when your toddler won’t share?

In this episode of Talking Toddlers, Erin Hyer, speech-language pathologist and early development specialist, breaks down what’s really happening inside your child’s brain when they say “mine!”

You’ll learn why true sharing isn’t developmentally possible before age 4, how playdates often set toddlers up for stress (and shame), and simple ways to build calm, language-rich moments of connection at home.

Erin also reveals how early turn-taking builds the foundation for real cooperation — without guilt, begging, or over-coaching.
