For young children, fairness means:

Know and follow the rules.

Share with friends and family.

Listen to friends and famly Don't blame family and friends.

Young children are very impressionable, and teachers are an important influence on young children. One way you can help children learn to be fair is by example. If the children see you following rules, sharing, listening to others and not placing blame, they will be likely to follow your example. tablish a foundation for teaching fairness to a child is by listening. When, the baby is awake and alert, listen to her different sounds and respond to them. When the baby starts babbling, she will love to hear you copy her sounds and she will probably babble some more. If the baby sees you respond to her babbling, she will continue to babble. You will be encouraging language development. Remember that listening is character development. Babies who are listened to will learn they are important and valuable, and they will be likely to listen to others when they are older.
