[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the PPs. Ask DC if she knows she hurt her friend? Does she feel bad that she hurt her friend? If so, let's talk about what she can do so her friend doesn't feel bad. If not, time to teach compassion. That said, my understanding is that it isn't until around 4-5 that most kids really develop the cognitive ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes and understand that people outside themselves can feel bad. So you can teach and reinforce this concept, but the I hurt someone-- I made them feel bad -- like I feel when someone hurts me -- I need to make this better link just may not be there yet. Until it is, you are just engaging in a power struggle. So focus on helping to develop the concept. [/quote]
