The right behavior to demonstrate to a 2 year old?! My two year old has no idea phones cost money. She doesn’t really understand that anything costs money or that money is limited. She’s 2. Yesterday she walked towards the pool with her towel  and a funny look on her face. I said DO NOT put that towel in the pool. She dropped it in the pool without breaking eye contact. I rung it out and explained that now she didn’t have a towel to get warm and dry because she soaked hers. She blinked and me and then sat down and switched her water shoes from the correct feet to the wrong feet and then asked me for apple juice. But sure, if it had been some idiot’s phone she would have learned a lifelong lesson by me paying for it.  Do you even have kids?[/quote]

Your daughter is messing with you and you're along for the ride.

The right thing to do here has nothing to do with Larla understanding what costs money and how much. 2 year olds are more than capable of grasping that we don't take or move other people's stuff. They are quite vigilant about this themselves, at times, so this is really not beyond their cognitive capacity.
