Toddlers who give then take back toys are learning to share, psychology says

 Toddlers exhibit an evolving grasp of sharing as they interact with toys and their peers. While it’s common for them to tease or reclaim items, these actions are part of their learning journey. Studies show that sharing skills typically mature between 18 to 24 months. To nurture these skills, parents should encourage enjoyable social activities without forcing them to share. Toddlers exhibit an evolving grasp of sharing as they interact with toys and their peers.
