Are we wrong about our stance on sharing?


While visiting family recently we were staying with my parents and my brother with his three kids. On of his kids is 5 and was excited to play with our son who is two. His view on playing with our son was primarily to decided he wanted whatever toy our son just picked up and would come over and say he wanted it and would try to just take it.We were constantly saying that our son was playing with it now and he could have a turn when our son was done with it. We did the same any time our son wanted what his cousin had; he had to wait for his cousin to finish then he could have a turn. Apparently my parents think we should have encouraged sharing and given my nephew the toy when he wanted it “because kids need to learn to share”. I was taken a back, but they strongly said we were nuts for our views on teaching sharing. I thought we had a pretty standard outlook on it.Are we off base? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/322DQSg
