[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is ridiculous that kids are growing up thinking that[b] it is ok to go up to a stranger ask ask to use thier stuff.[/b] I hate the " all kids are friends and should share mentality". If a stranger walked up and asked for a turn to use my car, I would not have to explain that I am using it right now. But you do need to teach your child that sharing with friends is different and sharing group things is different. [/quote] You are in a public play space not in your private home. And yeah, a toy isn't a car. Faulty analogy. You don't need a license to play with a toy. Sharing is sharing. Should you force a kid to share? Not necessarily, but letting a kid, even one whom you do not know, play with a toy that you brought to a public play space is just nice. Golden rule: do unto others.
