You are correct in every word.
Forced sharing is not sharing, even the other child who get what you forced your child to share will sense that there is something wrong. He might also be learnt not to respect others belongings as well as their emotions.
I believe a child's need to feel in control of his own things, his personal space intact come before his need to socialize. Will-full sharing is then comes later when the individual is content and self-confident enough to give others what he owns.
