Send us your photos at highlights.com/HighFive. Your High Five ! With so many milestones for young children to reach, it can be hard for parents to remember what children should know and when. A survey by the nonprofit ZERO TO THREE found that 43 percent of parents think a child should master sharing by age two, when the skill actually develops between ages three and four. In “Sharing at Camp” (pages 6–9), Indi and fellow camper Isabel struggle with this practice. After you read this story, you might talk with your child about how Indi and Isabel handle the situation and what self-management skills they use. What is your family’s favorite sharing strategy? Learning to Share As part of our mission to help make the world a better place for the children of today and tomorrow, Highlights is committed to making responsible business decisions that will protect our natural resources and reduce our environmental impact.

8 July 2019 “OK, friends,” said Counselor Lindsey. “Let’s take a deep breath and count to 10.” The girls breathed deeply and counted. “It sounds as if you both had the same idea about the yarn,” said Lindsey. “Would you like to take turns with the ball of yarn or each cut a piece to use?”

9 July 2019 “You can use the yarn first,” said Isabel. “I’ll hold the ball for you.” “OK,” said Indi. “Now we’re the yarn team!”

20 July 2019 Reading The Missing Cookies By Helen Dent • Art by Rocco Baviera One day, Tiger and Panda made curly cookies. They set the cookies outside to cool and went into the forest to play hide-and-seek.

21 July 2019 “Surely the cookies are cool enough by now,” said Tiger as he found Panda for the third time. “Let’s go back to your house.” But when they reached Panda’s house, the cookies were gone. “Tiger,” said Panda, “did you eat the cookies while I was hiding?” “Me?” said Tiger. “I didn’t eat a crumb. You gobbled them up, didn’t you?” The friends glared at each other.

22 July 2019 Just then, Sloth Bear ambled out from the nearby trees. “Thanks for the cookies,” he said. “What cookies?” asked Tiger. “The ones you left here for the animals of the forest,” said Sloth Bear. “Very nice of you. Very tasty too.”

23 July 2019 Panda and Tiger began to laugh. “I’m sorry I thought you ate all the cookies,” said Tiger. “I’m sorry I thought YOU ate all of them,” said Panda. “Let’s make some more,” they said together. And that’s just what they did.
