-How does your 2-3 year old act around other kids?
-Are they good sharers or grab toys a lot?
-Do they get loud or hyper or stay calm and play quietly?
-Do you notice they change around other children in any way?
-When do you interfere with toddler spats, and what do you do when you have to discipline your child around other children and parents?

Answer
My daughter was initially very shy around kids. She had a problem with sharing and getting along with them too because she is used to being alone. When I started her with preschool, she began to loosen up and got along with other kids. She has a constant playmate and she's really very hyper when she's around her. But with other kids, she gets really shy and tends to behave.

I don't usually interfere with their spats for as long as they are not hurting each other. But if my daughter misbehaves, I don't get angry at her when there's a lot of people around because it will embarrass her. I give out warnings and set limits in public but I usually do the disciplining when it's just the two of us.

How do I explain to my neighbors that any time my 3 yr old daughter plays outside, it's not an open invitation?

For them to let their 3 & 4 year olds to come over unsupervised and steel my kids toys? I've tried explaining to them the difference between keeping an eye on my good kid, and suddenly having two more little heathens to look after. The best I get from them is after their kids have been over for about a half hour, they'll yell over if it's ok.
I often have to let them know when their kids are are riding their big wheels down the road.

Answer
I have no answer for this, other than to say, that's what you get for having kids. You get what you give, buddy.

What are the most educational games for a 3 year old?

Bella Vita

Also, what are the funnest board games and/or toys for a 3 year old? I wanted to buy my little girl some news toys and games. I am looking for input on what your toddler thought was the most fun and what you thought was the most educational.

Answer
Just about everything. I allow my one and two year old to "help" me with the housework and then I tell them the names of things.

I made a list of five minute activities for busy days, containing simple activities like: throwing and catching a ball, singing and dancing to a nursery rhyme.

I looove this channel from youtube: EC0urbanGeNiUs713
which tells you how to make flashcards, which really work trust me :)

There is also the site Brillkids and Brillbaby, with a forum, but I think that is for people with a bigger wallet (containing Your Baby Can Read-stuff) :P

Then finally, if possible or if you have a satellite: cbeebies. The channel from bbc for children aged 0-7. My favourite show: show me show me, featuring two words each episode and focused on playing and being creative (avoiding to spend it all on toys haha).

I also like their show Let's get squiggling, which teaches kids (and parents, I suppose) how to draw.

They have a nice site with lots of things also a grownup part for the parents.

I hope some of this can be useful to you, enjoy!
