Hi, this is my first post of netmums so please forgive me if it's a bit all over the place.
So basically my little girl is starting playschool, she is 3 this week and she will be goin 2 days a week 3hrs a session for the first year then the following year it Is 5 days. Which she is very excited about, and I'm completely anxious about!, but also excited! The problem is that her cousin who is 4 months younger is going to the same school, and will be in the same class. These 2 from day one haven't ever really got along, they are completely different and both enjoying hVin fun but in very different ways so clash quiet a bit! My girl, would be very loving and playful and want to dance and draw and hug a at ring a Rosie very sociable whn we go to parent and toddler groups, then the cousin wud bee very laid back, doesn't like to play with dd jus likes her own space and company. Both characters are lovely just very different. This issue is though when these 2 are together my girl jus wants her cousin to be her best friend always wanting her to play with her to which her cousin jus doesn't want to an gets frustrated by pushin her away etc. When they are at play groups together my girl jus sits beside her cousin n try's to get her involved and if her cousin doesn't want to my girl will jus sit beside her even though I can see she itching to get involved in activitys to the point wer she wud jus dance beside her cousin wile everyone else is enjoyin themselves. So on days the cousin doesn't come to parent and toddler groups my girl is up dancing around playin with other girls holding hands singing dancing and having great fun being involved and making friends. So I guess I'm worried about my girl being help back if they go to same playschool as my girl won't get involved because she wants to be her cousins friend so bad! Any thoughts please consider goin to a different playschool to the cousin or am I just over thinkin?please anybody reply as I. Don't no wat to think
Thanks

Over thinking. If you are concerned speak to the teachers who will deal with it

I agree that you are overthinking it. Speak to the nursery teacher and explain the issue, but then leave it up to the nursery staff to support both girls.
