ok a bit of background
I care for a little girl ( 4 in jan) 2 days a week and have done since feb, she is such a nice little girl
anyway i have had my first full time little girl start last month this is where the fun began lol
both girls love the dressing up, dolls, pretend play which is fine as i have two buggies and about 5 dolls so plenty to go around or so i thought - everything the new little girl plays with the other wants and when she is told no she goes in a strop and starts to cry (which is driving me mad lol)
today we were reading stories, my older mindee choose the first book and we read it then the new mindee choose one (first strop began) we then sang songs same happend again
shes refusing to eat things which i know she likes as shes had them before
she refuses to tidy up
she tells me and mum on a regular basis " I dont like M and its my Adele - its not fair"
really dont know what to do about it
ive tried ignoring her strops
ive trid telling her that M only wants to play ith her as shes a big girl
i praise her when she helps or is nice to M
i sit with them both to encourage sharing
any other ideas :rolleyes:
