In short, why do people covet?
Case in point, I have two daughters with a playroom full of lots of toys. All of the toys belonging to/claimed by the eldest are on the left side of the room, and those of the youngest are on the right side. But sharing toys which they are not playing with is very difficult for my eldest, and a minor issue for the youngest.
For instance, my eldest will be playing with several of her toys, and the youngest will grab another toy which belongs to the eldest, and the eldest will drop everything and run screaming for the toy which she was not even playing with, and oftentimes didn't even have a clue existed in the previous moment.
The toys don't disappear and they are never taken away from her by anyone.
Similarly, they used to have the problem of wanting to play with whatever the other was playing with, regardless of whose toy it was or if it was generally preferred much less than the toy that they were playing with previously.
