Not exactly. it's not clear what "the share" in your example refers to. " A share is usually something you're entitled to, not just something someone decides to give you.

Or "The chocolate is for all of you -- please give your sister and brother their shares!" A share is usually something you're entitled to, not just something someone decides to give you.

The beauty of sharing and sharing education have become an integral part of early education in some communities - i.e., kindergarten and first grade. My youngest boy was so impressed he would bring it up when I would lecture him for taking my car without asking.
I mention this in connection with the entitlement issue. Children now consider the right to a share as *** given.
