[quote=Anonymous]My kid is six, so I don't remember where I learned this but kids at that age don't have the cognitive development for sharing or playing with each other. I think that starts around age 2.5 to 3 and takes awhile to get baked in. Which is the reason we never brought toys to the playground - it was a guaranteed meltdown. Maybe that dad gets it and it's the reason he didn't attempt to share, because he can't control it. That's a little sad because it has to be learned. When my kid wanted to start bringing toys to the playground, the rule before we left the house was that he had to share and if he couldn't, I would hold the toy. Plus, littler kids were always people that he had to look out for, because they're still learning. Turned out that he likes sharing and to this day always walks up to other kids and asks if they want to play.[/quote]
