Your toddler grabs a toy from another child, and suddenly you're not just managing your kid — you're managing your own embarrassment in front of the other parent. This episode walks through exactly what to say to your child, and how to handle the other adult without over-apologizing.
Toddlers are only just beginning to understand ownership as a concept at all between 24 and 30 months, and that understanding is directly linked to whether they share in the first place.
In this episode: → The 3 A's Method for the moment your child takes someone else's toy → What to say instead of just "give it back" → How to handle the other parent without over-apologizing → Whether your child taking a toy means something is wrong → The exact phrase that turns "give it back" into an actual lesson
