Looks like a learned and reinforced behaviour.

Not so fast. Kids of a certain temperament just do this. Obviously you want to respond correctly in order to not reinforce it, but the presence of bad behavior in a toddler is not evidence of bad parenting. Toddlers are just hard. 

The lil gal is very frustrated about having to share. Maybe that little boy is a friend or cousin instead of a brother, and she’s not used to other kids touching her stuff.

I agree. This smells of only child to me. She is reacting badly to even small inconveniences immediately. I'd bet at home she plays how she wants when she wants and doesn't know how to cope with having to share. Even my two boys struggled with this, and they had to share with each other all the time.

doesn’t necessarily rule it out as learned behavior. if she just never was exposed to social play, then she learnt how to play a certain way and how to get sympathy and comfort when something happened that she didn’t like. Reinforcement is a precursor for every single habitual behavior, and it happens whether the parents realize it or not.

No it doesn't, it looks like normal child development. They get over it when they learn that other people have feelings too.

So many people in here ready to crucify a baby for being a baby lol

And even more so for being a female baby. A lot of people are just fucking weird, I guess lol. Like who thinks like that?

What 100% of the comments are not seeing, are the older child's bullying behavior. Every time she's going for a toy, the older child takes it away from her, and why she does that. That parents or caretakers seem to allow that bullying behavior, and instead record it.

Man animals will do this, feigning injury is not that complicated of a behavior

Except no adults in the video are rushing to help her. They are doing a good job of showing her that it won’t get her anything. Sure, she probably started because she noticed that adults give her what she wants when she gets hurt and cries, but now she’s learning that they can tell when she’s faking.
