My LO has a couple of different types of friends (daycare/neighborhood/kids of parents I am friends with)... recently we have been doing playdates and she tells the other kids - after a short amt of time -
- "Im done with you"
- "I dont like you anymore"
etc.
Then she is done playing. Ive tried to get on her level to explain that it is not nice, but she doesnt seem to get it. She also yells/is bossy to her friends. Any advice?
Re: 3 1/2 year old friends?
DD does this all the time w/ her friends (and they do too).
Its sort of the fallout of telling her that she doesn't have to play w/other kids if she doesn't want too.
If she doesn't want to play w/ someone, I don't force her too, but I do remind her to be polite and that if she's mean to people, they won't want to be her friend.
