Psychology says toddlers who offer you a toy and immediately take it back may be learning something important about sharing

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.
