[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter had a friend who sounds like your daughter, OP, and it was frustrating for me to watch the dynamic because the friend was very controlling and inflexible and my daughter had no voice in the friendship. I learned from DCUM that a large contributor to this child's behavior could have been from anxiety. So perhaps there is something to that idea. Forgive me if you've already mentioned this, but have you spoken with your daughter's teachers and/or ped? Maybe they would have insight before you make the move to seeking out a therapist. [/quote]

Thanks for the insight. I'm sorry about your daughter. I actually don't see the bossy behavior in one on one situations as much as in group situations now that I read this. Her teacher has said she's great in class, very kind and helpful to all, on the anxious side but not at a level she's concerned about. Haven't talked to the pediatrician, but I will.

She used to hate large crowds and cry as a toddler, maybe this is a way she is expressing her discomfort with crowds? I feel like I need a therapist to help me figure this out!![/quote]
