'Tell them no': Mum reveals why she tells her child not to share with others
A woman has taken to social media to let others know why she believes her child isn't required to share with other children, with most parents in agreement with her.Missouri mother, Alanya Kolberg, posted a lengthy explanation on Facebook that has since been shared almost 220,000 times and has almost 700 comments.Ms Kolberg said her son was approached by at least six boys at once when he was playing with his toys in the playground.They "demanded" they share his transformer, Minecraft figure and truck, leaving him visibly overwhelmed.
"He clutched them to his chest as the boys reached for them. He looked at me. "You can tell them no, Carson" I said, "Just say no. You don't have to say anything else," Ms Kolberg wrote in the post.
"Of course, as soon as he said no, the boys ran to tattle to me that he was not sharing. I said, "He doesn't have to share with you. He said no. If he wants to share, he will."
Ms Kolberg said she received some "dirty" looks from other parents.
"If I, an adult, walked into the park eating a sandwich, am I required to share my sandwich with strangers in the park? No!"
