Hi all - me again (this forum is GREAT)!!!!!:) :) :) :)
I have only been minding since the beginning of the month and have a 16 month old (perfect little boy, no issues there) :) . I also hve 2 after schoolers 5 days a week who are brother and sister. S who is 8 and Y who is 6.
They are gorgeous children and mum is fab as well. They are between homes at the moment as mum and dad have split up and the children have mentioned bits and pieces about it (how they miss their house and stuff like that). S is fine but I have started to notice a few things that irritate me bout Y. My DS is 4 and Y seems to be jealous of the attention I give him. She'll tell me he is naughty and tell me that something that he has done is rubbish, if we are all sitting colouring and i am helping my DS, she wants to help too. whatever he is playing with, she wants, she cant understand why i wont let them play in my DS's bedroom as he should share everything (i believe that he should have his private space as this is my job, and that he should only share whatever toy he brings downstairs.).
All the children have equal attention whilst in my care. I need to nip this in the bud. Luckily my DS hasn't heard n e of the things she has said (YET!) so is not affected.
I believe that she likes being at my house (in fact i know she does as she has told me and mum has told me that she has told her that she loves me) as we function as a normal family and she is jealous of my DS for living here to be honest. She is such a sweety apart from this little niggle.
Any advice please ???????:panic:
