Do not worry if the child is greedy: feelings of equality and justice appear, as a rule, by the age of 7–8. The experiment of researchers from the University of Zurich (Switzerland) involved children from 3 to 8 years old. Only 8,7% of kids agreed to share two sweets equally – for themselves and for another, among 7-8-year-olds there were already 45% of such candies. All children were more willing to share with friends, the only ones in the family were more generous than the owners of brothers or sisters, and the most greedy turned out to be … the youngest in the family.
