toddler etiquette : by jean

Scenario 1:

Miles and Toddler X are playing with a toy.  Miles is not sharing and takes it away from Toddler X, leaving Toddler X crying.  Do I:

a) tell Miles that sharing is caring and try to get them to play together?
b) distract Miles and get him to play with something else because it's not worth the hassle?
c) not do anything?  Life is tough, and kids will have to learn to fend for themselves.

Now that Miles is starting to have more opinions and is playing more with other kids, I'm not sure what the "right" way is.  With close friends, we've already established an agreement where we trust each other enough that we give each other permission to discipline each others' kids if necessary.  But if you're not very close with the other kid's parent, how do you handle these situations without it getting awkward?  (or is it just always awkward?)  And even if you are very close with the other kid's parents, could this still become a conflict?  Feel free to respond anonymously! :)
