Greet them by name, say your name, and share something about yourself. Even if they’re a young toddler who won’t fully understand what you’re telling them, provide a basic introduction.

If your child clings to his precious possessions, respect this attachment, while still teaching him to share and be generous. It’s normal for a child to be selfish with some toys and generous with others. Guard the prized toy. Pick it up if the other child tries to snatch it. You be the scapegoat. Ease your child into sharing.
How do you introduce yourself in a professional way?
Here’s how to introduce yourself professionally: Be mindful of the context. Know your whys and wherefores. Resonate with the people around you. Focus on what’s relevant. Don’t say too much. Prepare. Double-check.
Instead, create attitudes and an environment that encourages your child to want to share. There is power in possession. To you, they’re only toys. To a child, they’re a valuable, prized collection that has taken years to assemble. Respect the normal possessiveness of children while you encourage and model sharing.
