A dad in a children’s park told his kid not to share his toy with another child, and of course, the mother of the other child was miffed.

According to some psychologists, the father was right to tell his child not to share because children shouldn’t be forced to share.

Many of us have grown up with our parents insisting that we share our toys, books, and sometimes clothing with our siblings, relatives, and friends.

Now, with this new thinking that children should be able to determine on their own when they want to share or, not share, some of us are left perplexed.

What is this world coming to?
