Just so everyone knows I DO NOT leave my two year old alone with my 7 month old. I wouldn't do that. I didn't even imply that I did.

Show this example by the way you treat them.
Children learn more by observation.
Try talking it into her now, or you can never get to change.
Do not give up. She is in the right age.
Very good luck.

Remember at that age “sharing” something usually means surrendering it to someone else. It’s pretty confusing. Try saying “take turns” instead when appropriate and finding things that they really can “share” (more than one toy car, for example.”
ps: love the comment above about not leaving your children alone together. Good grief, kind of a leap from the question, don't you think? Guess you can’t go out for pizza and leave your kids alone to share toys any more :-)

Show when you share with her.
Teach her to offer the baby an alternative toy to trade.
I have also pointed out to my 3 year old how short her baby sister's attention span is. She knows to wait a few seconds until she can get her toy back. Now she has a lot of experience of positive feedback for sharing.
I have heard her telling a neigbor kid that her sister just wants to see the toy for a second.
good luck.

hmm you are basically asking one baby to share with another this is a tough one,,, kids this age already have a hard time sharing,,, i mean your 2 year old now has to share mommy and her time and attention,,,, be patient if he/she doesn't want to .. also the baby should have toys of his own and not "playing" with his older sisters things... kids get jealous with a new baby.. maybe letting her have her own toys that she doesn't have to share would be a better idea,, there will be plenty of opportunities to incorporate sharing into her daily routine,,,,,, give the baby his own toys good luck

Show by blatant example. Say "mommy is sharing her cheerios with you" , then actually share them with her.
We also like the Jack Johnson sharing song from curious george.
