Together Is Better: Co-operating

To share is a process that involves complex cognitive and emotional skills. To be able to share, the child must be able to understand that objects exist and belong to him even when he does not see them and be able to put himself in the other’s shoes. With the identification through illustrations, the child understands how to enjoy shared games, enhancing these moments and highlighting the fun in doing what they like best. We help the children to find solutions that can mediate their needs with those of others, without this necessarily implying a renunciation. In this way, we manage their ability to think about a solution strategy, and to respect the needs of the other.
