Izzy 3.0 Positive language

I always try to give Izzy the words to express herself, a friend asked today how to get her 2 year old
to share.

Share is a big word and at this egocentric age it is very unlikely to happen, maybe if it is what the
child wanted to do anyway you might think the 2 year old is sharing.

I think that that 'taking turns' is a easier way, give the child the words:

'Me next' building up to 'Can I have it when you have finished please' for the child who wants something.

and

'Later' building up to 'You can have it when I have finished' for the child who has something other children want.
