[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about kneeling down and saying to this girl "You are acting like a [b]mean girl[/b]. We don't act that way in our family."[/quote] First of all, NO this is not appropriate feedback for a 4 year old. If you give feedback on behavior, make it specific. "Susie, the swings are for everyone to use." "Tommy we share the toys." Unfortunately, OP, since you live near these people, I would not go overboard trying address her bratty behavior if the parents don't. You still have to be their neighbors. Just cancel out gracefully of any future play dates for now. As your daughter gets older, she may become better equipped at dealing with peer relationships, so you don't want to permanently alienate them. I would echo the suggestion of finding an appropriate play date among her school friends. [/quote]
