Your children frequently work on turn-taking in the classroom, and most are working on it right now at home with siblings and with you. Turn-taking during play time with siblings or peers that isn't supervised by an adult is very challenging for most two year olds. They're still building the self-regulation and empathy skills that they need to begin to share. Turn-taking can easily be practiced throughout your child’s day during regular routines. These are rich, natural exchanges that lead to positive outcomes for both of you, including enhanced self-esteem and an increase in the amount of playfulness and nurture in your relationship.

Your child can practice expressing his or her needs with gestures, words, or sounds. In the classroom, we add the phrases “my turn” (place your palm on your chest) and “your turn” (point at them, place their palm on their chest) to each exchange.
