When I take my 3-year old to a playground, I try to let her socialize and deal with other kids on her own, but I always try to get her to share her things- pail and shovel, etc.
Recently, she took her favourite backpack to the park, and had it on her back. A little friend of hers (same age), wanted it and asked for it (my little one gave it up, although not happily). After a while, she came running to me saying she wanted it back. The other girl didnt want to give it back, and I found it tough to deal with the girl to give it back. I'd normally count on the other child's parents to step in, but this particular girl has nannies who don't really watch or care about what she's doing.
What's the best thing to do? When should kids be taught to share their things, and when is it ok to step in and protect their personal belongings? Any opinions?
