Tee had a friend over today but because she’s a snob, for some reason, she did. not. want. to share any of her toys. That is not usually the case, but today, lightning had struck, and everything that her friend played with, she charged over to terrorise. To put things into context, we were at this friend’s place last week and that friend didn’t want Tee to play with her toys either. So the friend’s mom said that it is probably because of that reason that Tee is retaliating.
I found it very interesting because Tee kept saying that she only wanted A, B and C to come over to her house to play her toys but not D, E and F. It is amazing how a three year old can already distinguish people they like and people they don’t like. With such passion! I am trying to find out WHY she doesn’t like some people but so far no answers have come forth.
So what I did was take her aside and explained to her quietly that she had to share her toys or people wouldn’t come to her house anymore. She replied that she didn’t want this girl to come anyway! Then I told her that if she didn’t want people to come over to her house, then people wouldn’t invite her to their houses either and very soon, she’ll be left all alone without any friends. Did she want that? No….
So she kind of accepted that this girl was here to stay but the whole afternoon, she clung onto me but had her head rotating to watch this girl’s every move whilst the girl happily played with Tee’s toys. And with every toy the girl played, Tee let out grunts of exasperation. Releases of anger. Sighs of anguish. She was SO frustrated and angry!!! I held her tight and kept explaining that she could play with her toys every single day where as this girl was only here to play for an hour. She didn’t like that. Should I respect her more? Could it be that she didn’t want this girl to play her toys because she played too long or too hard or…….???
Why is it that she happily allows some friends to play her toys freely and even plays together happily whilst she gets so angry when others do? I’ve noticed that the friends that she likes are more well mannered ones but that’s just a mild observation and doesn’t really count. So I’m still looking into this. Let me know if you have the same experiences.

i think it’s the same with adults, maybe she feels threatened/uncomfortable by that particular person/person’s actions, so mai don’t like lor..but most of the time it’s about territory..my son doesn’t like ppl to play with his toys, even those he hasn’t like touched for a million years..all of a sudden he will take interest only becos another kid took it out!!
my take? toys to kids are like cars to us. they become possessive and selective of people to share them with, just like us not willing to share our car with certain people. i think that’s an acceptable point to respect. i wouldn’t be offended if another child refuses to share his/her toys with my kids.
