[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again rereading the replies. We have talked about the queen bee and she doesn't like when that girl is rude to other kids and will stop playing with her for awhile, but they have know each other forever and have the same group of friends so she does interact and see her often. We do ask her to put herself in others shoes and yes she can definitely have empathy for them. I really am leaning towards a therapist for anxiety now.

Oh and I love one of the first posters ideas about telling stories from childhood, I will do that, thanks![/quote]

The inflexibility/bossiness as a result sounds like my 9 year old.

I don't remember too many stories from my childhood (I guess it was a long time ago) but I make-up little stories/parable that talk about the dilemna that my kids are facing and we discuss it, they love listening to it.
They know that we are talking about them but can discuss it without being defensive.
