Play develops from the solitary play of infancy to the parallel play of toddlers.The toddler plays alongside other children,not with them.This is typical behaviour for the toddler and is not intentionally aggressive.Shared play is not within their cognitive development.Because the toddler cannot view the situation from the perspective of the other child,it is okay to take the toy,and no sense of right or wrong is associated with the act.
