Mindee A is 6 yrs old and a boy
Mindee B is 8 yrs old and a girl
Mindee A copies everything (nearly) that mindee B is doing down to the language/slang she is using.
even mindee A's parents have noticed it
A has this need to be liked by everyone and is very sensitive.
when mindee B tells him not to copy her he starts to cry and denies he is copying her...says he just had the same idea...:panic:
it is very obvious he will copy her...what she says, does...if she says her favourite colour is pink so will be his...if she wants orange juice so does he...
he will also wait for her to answer first if I give them a choice of something and then choose the same. or change his choice to match hers.
how do you deal with this? do you ignore it and hope it goes away? but it is also bothering B at times...and it is very very obvious what he is doing
neither of them are getting preferntial treatment or anything like that...
any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
