[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 359817, member: 1722"] Your daughter is young, but I've seen this behavior in pre-schoolers (my own daughter, for one). I would suggest that you be very consistent with your daughter and, if necessary, use natural consequences. Ex: she's mean to another child at the park? She goes home immediately because we aren't mean to other children. ;-) I think girls especially are starting to work on their social order at younger ages. The big thing is to is to watch for relational aggression (the most common form of girl bullying, google it!). You can also work to teach her empathy in others by having her give of herself: have a lemonade stand & donate the money to charity, give her unwanted toys to needy kids, etc. We found role playing helped with my daughter: we acted out bad scenarios to give her a taste of how she made others feel and good scenarios so she could approach situations in a more positive manner. I wouldn't make myself crazy over your daughter's actions at this point but I would consistently address the good and bad behavior. She needs to learn how to be respectful to the other children so that she isn't eventually left out. [/QUOTE]
