Was chatting to mindee today about her afternoon/evening after pre-school....now I know mindee has a tendency to lie a lot so I am reserving judgement, however she said that she had been playing 'cats and dogs'....and I said "oh, that sounds like fun; who were you - the cat or the dog?", she replied 'both'.
"Oh" I said..."so you played it on your own then?"...'Yes...no-one (i.e. mum/brother) wanted to play with me so I played by myself.
Speaks volumes to me and I actually felt sorry for the girl (i.e. thinking her bad behaviour is that she hasn't properly learnt social skills and often plays on her own??). Am wondering whether I should cut her a break and tell mum that I will have her for first few weeks of school (starts Reception) to allow her to settle in....
..what do you think?
