Example social story for sharing toys

Sometimes I want the same toy that someone else is using. I can look, wait, and take a slow breath. I can say, 'Can I have a turn when you are done?' If I feel upset, I can ask a grown-up for help. When it is my turn, I can play gently. Sharing helps everyone have fun together.
