I wonder how you will handle this situation and what you will tell your child:
We brought natalie to a children party, there were toys n children basically play on their own. Natalie was playing with a toy when a kid came and snatched it away from her. She wanted to take the toy back, followed the boy around and tried to take from him, but the boy refused to let her have the toy.
Then she played on a "house", she sat on it and pretended she was driving a car. A girl, much older, was sitting on the "house", came over and carried natalie off the "house".
Then she wanted to play with a giant turtle, a boy stepped right on top of it and refused to let her play.
I observed my little girl, i told her, its ok, kor kor play with the toy first, you wait for your turn and meanwhile play with other toys. She kept coming back to me, she did not cry that she wanted the toy, she just said, jie jie carry you down the "car". hmm.. I am wondering if I am teaching her the right things about not holding on the the toy, even if she was playing with it first?
Will this affect her self esteem or cause her unable to stand up for herself? What will you do or say to your child in such situations?
