[quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here - what your child did was normal. Kids have to make mistakes to learn. Sometimes hearing corrections from other people can be more powerful and effective. If the grandma had said “oh it’s okay the baby  doesn’t care” your child would not learn important information about manners in a public space.

The grandma’s language was perfect.

If something like that happens again you could tell the person “ thank you for helping them with that” 
And don’t be embarrassed - really! It is their job to find out about the world and what happens....it’s our job to tell them gently and kindly what the rules are. And then help them when they break them. Because they will, over and over again.

Part of what’s so frustrating about parenting is being in situations where you feel your child should know better. But they have to learn that not only do we not take toys from babies at the library, we don’t take toys at preschool, or the park, or the children’s museum, etc
