I look after a child A till (4yrs) 15.30 and pick up another child B (5 yrs) from school and look after them until 6pm. Well yesterday i was looking after child A until 16.30. this is the first time child A & B have properly played together
So all children were playing in the garden when my daughter became abit bossy about whos turn it was to jump on the trampoline, so i called her in and asked her to help me.
Well to cut along story short, Child A and Child B started to ignore her, when she spoke to them they didnt answer so she got upset, then when she went to play on somthing they were playing with i.e the slide they walked away and played with something else and repeated did this. The final straw was when child A & B were outside playing my daughter went to join them and they walked back in the house. :angry:
I spoke to child A and asked him why they came back in the house, he said because my daughter went out there and they dont want to play with her and that they werent talking to her. At this point my daughter was sobbing.
I spoke to the children through out the time they were here, i also spoke to both mums, one was mortified that their child behaved in such a way. Child B even told me that she was upset becasue she had been really mean to my daughter.
Im not an over protective mum who thinks her daughter is an angel!! when she does somthing to upset the mindees sheis dealt with! but there was nothing that she did yesterday to warrent this bullying behaviour.
This is the first time since starting to mind that this has had a negative impact on my daughter and i just feel realy bad that this happened to her in her own home. :( :(
sorry for the long thread but just feeling abit down today.
