[quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? Why do YOU have to work around this? What does it have to do with you? I have 2 kids, but it's possible my friends could think I'm "oblivious" to my kids' behavior just because I choose not to interfere with their peer interactions, as long as no one is getting hurt. It's quite possible people schedule playdates for their self-centered only kids in the HOPES that the other kids will take them down a notch here and there and help them learn that they are not queen/king of the world. Learning this on their own, without parents constantly jumping in and mediating their experiences, is a wonderful thing. If you're worried that your kids are passive and let themselves be dominated, OP, and you don't like seeing this happen, I would suggest it's probably more their temperament than a sibling thing, but I'd think it best you talk/role-play with them, when at home, about how to deal with bossy friends and so forth. Don't you think?[/quote]
