Why does my child not share with others?

Q: My son is going to turn three in 2 months. His problem is that he always cries. Whatever he wants he expresses it in tears. He won't give his things to his own uncle's sons and daughters. Both of us are quite irritated on this. I am sometimes harsh on him. So please help me out on how to tackle this situation?

A:Your son is too young to understand the concept of sharing easily .Getting irritated with him would not be of any help. The best option is to explain to him the benefits of sharing through stories, and praise him whenever he makes an effort to share.
