Yesterday the kid next door came wanting to play with my 6 year old. KND (kid next door) is an only child and has a bit of trouble in social settings. She does however love Miss 6 and they get along fairly well. I do also have an almost 3 year old miss who loves cuddles and play like most toddlers. KND hates her. She constantly tells her to go away, or screams on top of her lungs whenever miss 3 goes to play with her. About a month ago, KND and Miss 6 were playing in our front yard and they pretty much bullied Miss 3 who had no idea she was being treated poorly. I was not home, hubs actually had a good chat to Miss 6 and explained why her actions were quite mean.A few weeks ago, we watched an ep of Bluey (every parent needs to watch this) and it was pretty much bluey's neighbour not wanting to play with Bingo (bluey's younger sister) so I said to miss 6, this is interesting..its exactly what happens with you and KND.So cue yesterday..KND comes over..starts the usual..and Miss 6 goes 'you have to include my little sister...she's only two..how would you feel if nobody wanted to play with you? Anyway this is my house and her house..so you have to follow our rules!'OMG you guys..I was so so proud of her! Hubs and I try not interfere with our kids playing styles unless they are harming one another. We tend to watch and see what type of choices they make. Miss 6 is usually very impressionable and will go along with the pack but she looked out for her sister without being asked and that is such a big proud moment! So..pro life tip..if you want your kids to learn something..make them watch bluey!ps: not an ad for bluey..promise! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2mMNAB4
