Two pre-school boys are fighting over a plastic phone that belongs to one of them. The nanny comes over after the owner of the toy wins in a scuffle saying "can i have the phone?" The boy sulks and gives it to her. The boy who had been fighting for the toy (but had lost) reaches out his hand to receive the phone. The nanny, not knowing the boy very well, gives it to him. The original owner/winner sees this and skulks away.
Poor kid. Kids work out their scuffles amongst themselves. An adult exercising authority feels totally disempowering and unfair.
