Honestly, it seems like they're just pacifying the aggressive child. "If the other child is upset" of "If the child seems" when refering to the child who gets their toy taken away. I understand there some children who will just take a toy and never let anyone ever play with it, but from what I've experienced children who snatch toys know who they can and can't do it with. Like the little girl who left, she most picked on my longterm girl who was shy. I had another girl who was extremely loud and would have hit her. She approached her one time and the girl got in her face and said "NO!' and scared the c rap out of new girl. I think after certain point it is bullying and just sort of keeping the aggressive child from doing worse things. Which I get, but we have to make sure the shy/meek kids are happy/confident, too.
