[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Directing play with other children" is a euphemism for being bossy. She needs to learn she can't always be the director. She needs to take turns being the follower sometimes. No one wants to always be the one taking direction. I still remember when I was a kid playing with a younger kid, who made up a game where she would write on a chalkboard and she made me erase for her. Games are not fun when one kid is the boss and the other is the subordinate. Is that why she gets mad, because she expects that kids should follow her orders? No wonder the younger one is mischievous and not a rule follower.[/quote] The phrase that my kids relate to is "it's not a game if you're the only one having fun." It immediately resets their thinking when DDs are mad because someone isn't following the rules. [/quote]
