[quote=Anonymous]I would find the example about the refrigerator door super annoying. But I’d like to offer an alternative explanation for why Amy tries to convince her daughter to give the toy back rather than forcing it. She might know that if she forces it, her daughter will explode (yell, throw toys, maybe even bite or spit) and the play date will definitely be over. Which is an unpleasant outcome for everyone. Her daughter’s reaction when you took the toy away and handed it back to your daughter confirms to you that the child isn’t used to being disciplined but it might, instead, mean that she gets explosive when she’s disciplined. Your friend might be choosing not to do that when on play dates. That doesn’t mean you have to be ok with your child having toys snatched from her (although I’d let them sort that out at 3) or your fridge being messed with but it does mean you might want to consider an alternative explanation for what you have observed.
