[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just say no.

“Thank you for asking, but no, you can’t borrow the hover board”.

Why on earth would you thank someone for asking to use your stuff??[/quote]

You don’t have to. You can just say no (which I think is completely acceptable). The  thank you  helps ease and buffer the answer for kids. Apparently some of these parents on this thread can’t seem to do that.

Personally, I don’t think kids don’t  need to share their toys, and they should feel free to take their hoverboards, scooters in anything they like to the park. Just because you’re in a community space doesn’t mean your items become community items.   A playground is a place to learn and kids should feel free to share or not share their toys. So that means some kid will learn not to touch and that not everything is for them to play with. They learn boundaries. I think a lot of people need to learn boundaries from early on and it starts with young kids, and these are lessons you take to adulthood.
