Socializing experience today

in October 2011 Moms

I took N to a free for all play time in our town, where they have all sorts of toys laid out in a gym for kids to play with and let out some energy during the winter season.  I thought this would be a good opportunity for us to get out of the house, and it would hopefully allow her to socialize a bit. 

I noticed Nora is not a good socializer at all.  Her and this other girl were vying for a car, but the other girl (same age) was much more quiet and understandable.  My child, on the other hand, try to push the girl out of the car and tried to take a swing at her.  It worries me my child will be a jerk, like, really worries me.  I don't want to have the assshole kid no one wants their kid to be around.

I know it's just her first experience in this setting, and I don't really need to get worked up, but I can't help but worry.  She has little tantrums at home too, which I know are normal behaviors.  There is no real point to thread but to let it out. 

Despite the social awkwardness, she had a good time running around and playing outside of the house.

    We should let our girls battle it out to see who would win.  I think having an older sibling may play a role in this. 

    Violet is tough and is a brute too.  I don't think there is anything wrong with being aggressive you just have to funnel it into being displayed in a polite way.

    That's totally normal behavior. The other girl probably has young siblings she interacts with or is in day care or has just been socialized more. Lo is much better about not hitting and sharing because she sees E with his friends and they're young enough they're doing the same type of things she is.

    I honestly think kids go through "aggression" phases.  At times they're more sensitive, at times they're more brutish.

    LBB used to cry every time he got knocked over.  Now he's going through a period where we get notes sent home about him "using his body to push others."  (Apparently he goes up to his friends and just starts leaning on them, like they're a wall.)

    The same day he got bit, he was apparently being a bit bossy later that day.  

    I doubt your daughter will turn into the *** kid.  She was just having her moment.

    Last time DD played with one of her cousins, she hit him in the head with a wooden spoon...

    Thanks for reassuring me, ladies. I worry more than necessary about mostly everything, so there's that. I still may put her in daycare once a week as soon as cold and flu season is over, but it will be more so I can run errands and workout.

    DD gets a lot of socialization, but is still a brute.  She is incredibly strong and tries to "hug" kids but ends up knocking them over.  She also steals other kids' snacks, even though we send her with plenty of her own.

    I recommend this. They get a lot out of interacting with other kids as well as getting used to rules and authority figures outside of their parents which is helpful with school readiness IMO. They pick up bad habits but they also pick up good ones and independence and confidence.
