Milo Takes Turns With Zara: A Story About Taking Turns, Patience, and Cooperation

Description

Sometimes kids really don’t want to take turns, and that’s okay.

This story captures one of those moments we’ve all seen: when something feels too special to share just yet, and a little time (and a patient friend) makes all the difference.

This story helps toddlers and preschoolers:

  • Pause and think before acting (even when they really want the shovel)
  • Notice how someone else is feeling, and respond with care
  • Understand that it’s okay to say “no”… and just as okay to say “yes” when they’re ready
  • See how taking turns can lead to connection and fun

Try bringing up Milo’s story the next time your child doesn’t feel like taking turns.
That simple phrase “Your turn, my turn, let’s take turns!” can make the idea feel a little more playful… and a lot more doable.
