Modeling sharing for the children is the most effective way to teach them to share. Children learn by observing and imitating adults/peers, so if Isabel models sharing and talks about why it's important to share, the children are more likely to follow suit. Simply telling the children to share or taking the toys away does not teach them why sharing is important or how to share in a positive way. Similarly, telling the children to be kind is a good idea, but it is not specific enough to encourage regular sharing behavior.
