[quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by bossy?

My DD is quiet, introverted, a watcher rather than a doer. Her best buddies might be called bossy. They always have ideas about what they want to do, and what they want others to do. They're eager to involve kids in their ideas. You know why I don't consider them bossy? They also (occasionally - they are young!) ask their quieter friends what they want to do. Sure, they may insist that they play their game first, which is fine with my daughter, and after their game they'll ask my daughter what she wants to do. And then they'll do it, or work together to turn it into something they both want to do. I also don't consider them bossy because on those rare occasions they come up with something my DD doesn't want to do, they listen (mostly - they are young!) to her when she says she doesn't want to do that, and the kids then work together to come up with something enjoyable to both.

Bossy would be trying to force someone who doesn't want to to go along with you. Is she doing that?[/quote]
