45.Sharing things

Q1 Is there anything that parents should persuade children to share with others?

Ans- Yeah, I think there are things parents should encourage kids to share... not just physical stuff like toys or snacks, but also things like time, attention, and even feelings. For example, if a kid has a younger sibling, the parents might ask them to play together, even if the older one would rather do their own thing. It can teach kids to be patient and think about someone else's needs, not just their own. Or take food... like, if they have a snack and a friend doesn't, it's a great moment to teach generosity. Even simple stuff like that can go a long way. And honestly, I also think it's important to help kids learn to share how they feel. If they can talk about what's going on in their head, it helps them connect with others better, and they're more likely to be kind and understanding in general. So yeah, I think there are definitely things parents should encourage kids to share... maybe not all the time, but in certain situations.

Q2 How can governments encourage shared transport?

Ans- Well, I think there's actually a lot governments can do to encourage shared transport. First of all, they could make it cheaper, like offering student or senior discounts, or giving people tax benefits for carpooling. If it costs less than driving your own car, more people will definitely consider it. Also, shared transport has to be reliable. No one wants to wait ages for a bus that shows up late and is packed with people. So governments should invest in cleaner vehicles, better schedules, and more frequent service, especially during rush hour. Another thing is convenience. People love when things are easy. If you can open an app, see when your train's coming, or unlock a scooter with one tap, you're way more likely to try it. So governments could support or promote this kind of tech. And finally, awareness matters too. A lot of people just don't know what's out there. Campaigns that show how shared transport can save money, reduce traffic, and even help the planet could really change how people see it.

Q3 Why is it important to share food with others during a celebration?

Ans- I think celebrations are special moments, whether it's a family holiday, a birthday, or even something like a wedding. And what makes them memorable isn't just the occasion itself, but the emotions people feel during those moments. Sharing food plays a big role in that. When people sit down together and eat the same meal, it creates a feeling of connection. It's not just about the food. It's about that sense of togetherness, of everyone being part of the same experience. Also, in many families and cultures, certain dishes are a big part of the celebration. Maybe it's something your mom always cooks for a holiday, or a recipe that's been passed down for generations. So by sharing it, you're not only enjoying the food. You're also sharing memories, tradition, and a bit of your culture. And I think that's what makes the moment feel special and emotional. It brings people closer. The laughter, the conversations, the little things you remember later... a lot of that happens around the table.

Q4 How can parents and teachers teach children to share?

Ans- Well, I guess by setting a good example to them, first of all. Parents and caregivers are the most important role models for kids, so much of learning that occurs during childhood is acquired through observation and imitation of what these significant adults do. But teaching kids something by being a role model for them is not the only way, of course. There are definitely some things parents and teachers can do to help kids enjoy sharing. For example, one of the things is to involve the young in cooperative games in which they have to work together with others by taking turns. Such games don't involve a single winner, which is not harmful for kids' emotional health. And last but not least, it's important for adults to offer positive reinforcement as kids learn to share, drawing their attention to some distinct details of what they did, for instance, pointing out that they put a smile on John's face by sharing their toy with him.

Q5 Do you think kids like to share?

Ans- Yeah, I think a lot of little kids actually enjoy sharing... especially when they're playing with friends. They love doing things together, taking turns, and just being part of the group. Sometimes they don't even think about it. They just see other kids passing toys around or helping each other and they copy that. It's kind of how they bond and feel included. Also, if adults set a good example, like if they see parents or teachers being kind and generous, kids usually pick up on that. And the funny thing is, they often enjoy it. They feel good about themselves when they share, especially if someone praises them or just notices. But at the same time, not all kids are like that. Some get really attached to their stuff. For them, sharing a toy might feel like giving away something really personal. Or maybe they're just not in the mood, like if they're tired or cranky, sharing is the last thing they want to do. So yeah, it really depends on the kid and the moment.

Q6 What is the benefit of sharing for children?

Ans- Oh, sharing is an important tool in children's emotional toolkit as well as a basic component of human interaction which can help kids make and keep friends, and play cooperatively. It is something that creates trust among kids and helps them to strengthen the bonds with others. It teaches kids to realize that others also have needs and wants and that it's important to compromise and negotiate if you want to create relationships. To put it simply, the main benefit of sharing is to teach kids to lead a life that includes others.
