[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I read correctly, your child tried to play with 4/5 yo's toys and when the kid didn't want to share, your child tried to hit the 4/5 yo. I have both a 3yo and 5yo. I would not have intervened in that situation. Your kid tried to hit my kid and you apologized. Not sure what you would have wanted me to do if I were the other parent.

My 3yo does not try to play with stranger's toys but it is WWII at our house because 3yo constantly tries to take 5yo's toys. I intervene all the time.[/quote]

No, you didn't read correctly. Those toys did not belong to the 4/5 year old. A bunch of children were playing in a sandbox that contained several toys, and my child happened to reach for the toy nearest the 4/5 year old's feet. Suddenly, the 4/5 year scooped up the toy, then screamed, 'NO!!" in my toddler's face. The father did nothing. IF they were her toys, how would anybody have known that? They were all scattered about.

The point is, screaming in other people's faces in inappropriate, and that behavior should've been corrected.
