(
Our son now is almost 4, and used to be a "me-me-the-king" toddler. He was spoiled partially because he is the only child we have and his grandpartents babysit him most of the time. About 3 years ago, we started to take him to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis on a regular basis. I still remember the first time he learned the concept of sharing in Playscape. That afternoon, there were a lot toddlers playing by the small pool, which made me worry if my son was able to get his turn to play with the fishing toy. To my pleasant surprise, a small girl handed Ben a fishing rod, and they started to play together. Soon, to my even greater surprise, Ben handed another fishing toy to other toddlers. And this was the first time I saw my son sharing a toy with others! On the way home, I taught my son the word : "share" in English and Chinese (my first language). You can imagine the thrill I had at that time to hear him saying "share" in the car seat, which was like a beautiful music on a beautiful day!
Now I am studying in Dental School at the University of Minnesota, and my wife and son are still in Indy. Whenever I come home for a short family reunion, I take Ben to The Children's Museum again, watching a growing boy having fun there, hearing his voice, the voice of "sharing" in 2 languages.
Thank you, Children's Museum!
