In the clip, she said: "Don’t bring toys to the park unless your kids and you are ready and willing to share.
“I don’t think it’s fair that you’re gonna bring toys to a place where there’s gonna be a bunch of kids and you are not willing to share the toys with the other kids.”
Not sharing, Kiara continued, is “wrong” and “cruel,” which is why she is an advocate for leaving the toys at home instead.
She continued: "And yes kids need to know okay this is mine this is mine.

"Teach your kids.
"But at the same time I feel like that's just mean."
“I might be the only person with this opinion, but I’ve seen it too many times when I go to the park,” she said.
Kiara went on to say that she sticks to her world and doesn't let her own children bring toys to the park either.

Different parenting styles explained
There are four recognised styles of parenting explained below:
Authoritarian Parenting
What some might describe as 'regimental' or 'strict parenting.
Parents with this style focus on strict rules, obedience, and discipline.
Authoritarian parents take over the decision-making power, rarely giving children any input in the matter.
When it comes to rules, you believe it's "my way or the highway."
Permissive Parenting
Often referred to as 'soft parenting' or 'yes mums/dads'.
Permissive parents are lenient, only stepping in when there's a serious problem.
They're quite forgiving and they adopt an attitude of "kids will be kids."
Oftentimes they act more like friends than authoritative figures.
Authoritative Parenting
Authoritative parents provide their children with rules and boundaries, but they also give them the freedom to make decisions.
With an authoritative parenting style, parents validate their children's feelings while also making it clear that the adults are ultimately in charge.
They use positive reinforcement techniques, like praise and reward systems, as opposed to harsh punishments.
Neglectful or Uninvolved Parenting
Essentially, neglectful parents ignore their children, who receive little guidance, nurturing, and parental attention.
They don't set rules or expectations, and they tend to have minimal knowledge about what their children are doing.
Uninvolved parents expect children to raise themselves. They don't devote much time or energy to meeting children's basic needs.
Uninvolved parents may be neglectful but it's not always intentional. A parent with mental health issues or substance abuse problems, for example, may not be able to care for a child's physical or emotional needs consistently.
Another commented: "Teach your kids about personal space and belongings."
"Why are people so entitled to other peoples belongings?" penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Well life isn’t fair."
"“Don’t bring your purse unless you’re willing to share what’s in there,” claimed a fifth.
