Taking toys

I watched this happen to my boy a few weeks ago and then it happened the other day and he fought back - he was not letting go of this toy 😂 I think at this age, they don’t quite understand yet
It depends - if it was a one off and my child didn’t get upset I would let it go. I would have hoped the other parent would have dealt with it but it doesn’t always happen. If this happened a couple of times either the same day or at a regular playgroup and the other parent wasn’t watching or doing anything. I would politely say to the other child ‘name’ was playing with this toy, would you like this one instead. I will let you know when ‘name’ has finished with it and you can have a go then. The other child might cry but hopefully guardian will then notice and you can explain the child wanted the toy my child was playing with. You don’t have to explain any further. Personally I wouldn’t consider doing it this way to be telling the child off so if someone said it to my child I would be ok with it xx
If it happens to my daughter, I look to the parent and expect them to show and give back the toy. My daughter does the same , they’re only toddlers and I explain to her they were playing with it and we need to give it back and wait our turn
