Toddlers need adults to bring /take them to things they want to play with.
Are both ok? Which one is correct? |

Hi, I understood that you wanted to know the difference between bring them to VS take them to. I hope that's right. If it is, please check my examples:
Toddlers need adults to bring them to things they want to play with. - Bring essentially means that you want something to come to you.
Example: I hope you can bring me some snacks. (not take me some snacks)
Toddlers need adults to take them to things they want to play with. - CORRECT because you want to take something to someone/somewhere. The direction is away from you (not to you like in bring).
Example: Please take me to Lexington Park. (not bring me to Lexington Park) |
