[quote=Anonymous]Damn, some of you are just determined to slam the OP! OP, I have a boy that age that sounds similar. Very creative, tons of ideas, and he can be controlling and bossy in his execution, particularly if others go off his script. It has gotten better as he's gotten older. Some things I do: Before every play date, I remind him to consider what his friends want to do and remind him not to be too bossy. We have very direct conversations where I tell him that other kids don't like feeling bossed around and he's going to lose friends. I don't really do the- how do you think they feel - angle, which I think is very popular now. I pretty clearly spell it out that certain behaviors will make people not like him. 1+1=2 He is well liked and has lots of friends so I think the above works pretty well, but he needs reminders.[/quote]
