Another look at sharing and borrowing, including taking turns and what to say when the answer is no.

How to Share or Borrow: step-by-step guide

Taking turns is how sharing works in a group. Watch the video, then practice with someone.

  1. Ask the person holding the item if you can have a turn.

  2. Wait patiently while they finish, and count to twenty if that helps.

  3. Say thank you when they hand it over.

  4. Use it for your turn, then offer it back or pass it to the next person.

  5. If someone says no, choose a different activity for now and ask again later.

Ask Iris

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
