A TikTok influencer, Kiara Blanco, thinks it's "cruel" that kids don't share toys on playgrounds, and that's enough to get people cracking up.
"Don't bring toys to parks unless your kids and you are ready and willing to share them with others," said Blanco, the mother of a toddler, in a TikTok video. "I don't think it's right for you to bring toys to a place where there are many children and you are not willing to share the toys with other children. I feel like that's just wrong.”
“So how about we leave the toys at home or be willing to share them? I don't know what you think, I may be the only one with this opinion. But I've seen this situation many times when I go to a playground, we can't take the toys with us for this very reason."

Most of the commenters under her video disagreed with the young mother's stance:
"How about teaching your child that he has no right to play with someone else's toys?"
"Being forced to share is a cause for becoming a people pleaser, saying 'Yes' because you're afraid of upsetting or disappointing someone by setting boundaries."
"It's not my responsibility to raise your child and teach him/her boundaries!"
“Yeah, that's why I don't let my kids bring toys anywhere but the house and the car. They are too young to understand how to share.”
Should children share their toys in a park?
"Kids shouldn't share them, especially with kids they don't know personally," says Francyne Zeltser, clinical director of mental health services at the Manhattan Psychology Group.
"If a child brings a toy to the park and actively plays with it, they shouldn't intend to share it," she says.
Saying "No," adds Zeltser, is a skill children need to learn. "It's challenging because it's not just about saying 'No', which many kids have no problem saying, but it's about receiving and accepting the 'No' from the other child," she says. she.
With proper boundaries, sharing is a good and basic value, especially for children!
