[quote=Anonymous]Baffled by the social dynamics between my DD's preschool friends. Where do you think these girls who are just ages 3 and 4 learn to be so snotty and manipulative? Things like all ignoring one girl, or declaring someone "not their friend anymore" over one little disagreement like who plays with what toy first. How does it occur to them to interact like this, and how do they learn that it's an effective means of establishing social dominance? I know DD hasn't heard us telling people they're "not our friends" over petty little disagreements, but I've heard her say it and we've had to talk repeatedly about how that's not a nice thing to say when we're upset and sometimes even friends get frustrated with each other. Didn't this stuff used to start in high school?[/quote]
