Sharing With a Friend
Taking turns with toys and things. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sharing means letting someone use a thing for a while. The thing comes back. Sharing is not losing.
2. When a friend asks to use my toy, I can say yes. I can also say "in five minutes" or "when I finish my turn." Those are honest answers.
3. Some things are extra special to me. I can keep special things safe and share other things. That is a fair plan.
4. I want to use something my friend has.
5. Waiting for a turn can feel long.
What could I do while I wait? Play with something else nearby. Watch and cheer for my friend. Ask my friend to tell me when they're done. I'm not sure yet — and that's okay. 💡 Turns end and things come back. Waiting is a skill, and it grows with practice.
6. When playtime is over, we put things back. The toys rest until next time. We shared, and that made the playing better.

Sovelo Stories are original social narratives, written for neurodivergent kids and reviewed against strict guardrails: no eye-contact training, no masking, no mind-reading — and "no" is always a complete answer. Evidence-informed preparation, not a treatment. © Ezra Brown.
