Stop the Toy Fights! Cooper's Give-and-Get Tool for Sharing & Turn-Taking!

Описание: 📢 End the Toy Tussles! This story teaches the powerful tool, The "Give-and-Get" Clock, to help your child master sharing, turn-taking, and patience during playtime. If your kids frequently struggle to let go of toys, experience conflicts during playdates, or need a clear strategy to handle transitions, this is the simple, social-emotional technique you need. This is the cure for The Me-First Monster.

STORY SUMMARY: This essential SEL story teaches children the crucial skill of Sharing and Cooperation, using the simple, empowering tool: The "Give-and-Get" Clock! Meet Cooper the Koala, who is struggling with "The Me-First Monster"—the fear that sharing his favorite stone means losing it forever. Grandma Kiki teaches him how to manage his anxiety by using the powerful three-step tool: Stop the Monster, Set the Clock (visualization), and The Happy Swap! Cooper learns that giving a turn is the key to a happy friendship and that his turn always comes back. This narrative provides children with a clear, actionable strategy for developing empathy, fairness, and social confidence.

THE EDUCATIONAL MESSAGE FOR PARENTS : Teaching children to share and take turns is a major milestone in social development. This story addresses the underlying fear of "loss" that many children feel when asked to share, replacing it with a predictable, timed system. The story teaches children:

Emotional Literacy: It identifies the possessive impulse as "The Me-First Monster," making the feeling easier to discuss and manage.

Predictability: The Set the Clock step uses a countdown to provide a clear beginning and end to the "wait time," which reduces anxiety.

Reciprocity: The Happy Swap reinforces the "win-win" nature of cooperative play, showing that being generous actually keeps the fun going for everyone.
