How Toddlers See the World

 

1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If you currently or have ever wanted it, it's mine.
8. If it looks just like mine, it's mine.
9. If I think it's mine, it's mine.
