Thank you, this was very insightful!

I don't think the question is irrelevant, by your own admission young children only understand selfishness, which I assume leads to situations where one sibling wants something another sibling has, yet doesn't fully understand the concepts of possession. I am curious how the objectivist parent deals with such situations in the context of raising children.

A teachers input is most welcomed! As a followup question, do you encourage the children (in your example johnny) to share, or do you reinforce to them that they do not have to share if they do not wish to? And a personal question, do you believe that a child that shares a toy, game etc.. when they don't want to is counter productive? Thanks!

I'm interested in getting parents perspectives on how to raise children to have the virtue of selfishness. Specifically how did you deal with brothers, sisters or brother and sister sharing toys or other things? What was your approach, and what would you have done differently? Thanks!
