Hi, My daughter is nearly 5 and has a friend of the same age who lives down the road. They are at school together, in the same class. This little girl is an only child like my daughter, and is a right little madam. She is alays saying to my daughter things like "I'm better than you", "I'm faster than you", "I'm cleverer than you" etc. Her mum says "Oh, she's so competetive", I feel like saying "Oh, is that what you call it". The little girl was also saying that "My dolls house is bigger/better than yors". She came to play yesterday with her mum. Her mum told me that because she's given up her dummy, she's got two new dolls and a nintendo DS? as a reward. The little girl was saying to my DD, "I've got twin dolls and you haven't". I then told the little girl that my dd had given up her blanket thing recently too. She got quite angry about this shouting/whining, "She didn't give up her blanket, she didn't" when I said "She did" she just said to my dd, "well I gave up my dummy before you gave up your blanket".
She then said to her mum, "I'm going to throw snow at Lucy!". The mum didn't say anything.
She's just such a spoiled little madam, and I'm concerned at that she might be harming my dd's confidence. She has speech problems and is delayed developmentally, but is the sweetest little girl you could meet. She is quite sensitive though. I worry when this friend of hers says things like "No one knows what you're saying".
I'm never sure what to say when she puts my dd down, as her mum dosn't seem to mind or say anything. I don't want my dd to think that I approve of her behaviour, or what she's saying either. It's quite awkward.
I'm not sure wether to have a word with the teacher and see what she's like at school with my dd. It is such a small class of only 9, I'm worried that there won't be much escape from her.
Also if you have any advice on what to do when she's putting my daughter down, when her mum's there, that would be good.
If she plays at mine on her own I can say that "Lucy won't want to play with you, if you aren't kind to her" etc.
I just think, of all the children who could've moved in down the road, it had to be her.
