Take other children's belongings and run off with them and hold them out of their reach?
Out tonight with a few friends for a local event...one of the DC took my DD's toy and ran up the road with it laughing and holding it out of her reach.
My DD is 6 and the other child is 8. Not a lot of difference in age but enough that the older child was faster and taller.
I never said anything at first...but I wanted to...I just thought "Where's the fun in that?" and thought that rather than appear precious, I'd wait and watch to see if the other child handed the item back after a moment...but she never and my child was pleading as the toy was brand new today.
So I said "Give it back please" as I approached and she did so immediately.
Do your DC play in this way? Do you allow it? The child in question is usually well behaved I think.

AIBU?
To genuinely wonder why some children do this?
