[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have this with a five year old neighbor.  She is pushy and doesn't get along with my kids and everything is a big ordeal when she's here.  We've tried the garden flag idea, I tried telling her parents that I work from home and their kid was ringing the doorbell a zillion times while I was on calls and my kids were at camp, everything.  If I open the door, she pushes her way in.  If I try to ignore the doorbell, she rings it a hundred times.

No good advice.  [/quote]

How is it possible that a five-year-old can push their way past An adult?

In general I think sometimes adults feel like saying no or establishing boundaries is somehow mean or bad. It is not. You can be firm without being nasty and I think that is the approach some of you need to take with your neighbor kids. For some of your neighbor kids it might take once or twice for others it might take a little longer but I cannot imagine being intimidated or being unable to in affectively interact with a young child.[/quote]
