Why are toddlers selfish?

Selfishness

Toddlers often seem selfish. They don't like to share. They often take or demand toys and things from other children. They disagree and become frustrated easily. Toddlers do not yet understand the needs of others and often are only aware of what they want at the moment. Make only a few rules and be consistent. Give simple explanations and tell them that others have feelings too.
