Toddlers don't know how to share - they have to be taught. Explain to her that she has to share and be consistent. After a while she will realize that sharing is a good thing. Also, maybe try to talk to her about playing together - probably not something she can do at this age, but it may make it easier when she is old enough to get the concept.
Good luck - toddlers are tough - hang in there!

Don't worry. Although it can be embarassing around others... nothing much you can do, try to make some things definitely hers, other things definitely for sharing and your things for you... it probably won't work (if your little girl is anything like most I've known at that age) but you can always try. She will grow out of it pretty soon.
Cheers,
Ruby

This is the time when children start being selfish, it's normal...but it's also the time you teach how to share. Let her know how happy it makes you when she shares. Don't worry she'll get the picture. Good Luck!

Texasgirl - as human beings we all are that way!!! Unfortunately - she will never grow out of that!! Just keep telling her to share and the importance of sharing. Reinforcement and repitition. Age appropriate education.

No all children go through this phase. You have to make her realize that sharing can be fun and it helps her make new friends. Explain to her how you share some of your things with her.

I believe this is pretty normal behavor for one at that age. You don't want her to think that this behavior is acceptible though (at least I don't think you do). You could try telling her that she has to share and inforce that rule. Maybe start gental but get stricter as this continues. Whatever you feel as the parrent is best for your daughter.

No all kids go through it. If she takes something thats yours or someone elses and won't give it back take it from her and give her something that is hers. For example if your at a playdate and shes not sharing take the toy from her and give her a toy that is hers and show her its hers say no this yours that baby doll was so-and-sos.

That is very normal for your daughter's age. It is, however, important to start teaching her to share at this age before it becomes a bigger problem.

Not really thats pretty normal for her age. Just be consistant about teaching her to share.

That's a common stage kids go through :-)
When she says "mine!" you just need to tell her politely that she needs to be nice and share.
Practice sharing with her. Sit down with her and maybe your husband and hand her a toy and tell her to share with daddy. Praise her for sharing and she should realize that sometimes things might be hers, but she still needs to share.
