Answer 1

She may wonder why you can be friends with the mom and she can't be with the daughter. Also, what better way to teach children than through the mistakes (naughty behavior) of others. Children really do listen to us even though it seems they don't...If you see the bad behavior of the first child and then your daughter copies you can explain the consequences.

Also, your daughter may be testing you. Too many parents blame the behaviors of their children on every one else. She may just be trying to see what she can get away with. It is up to you to be a positive influence. Good Luck! Rearing children is the tuffest job you'll ever have!

Answer 2

why dont you just explain to her her behaviour is wrong? and talk to her mother about it?

Answer 3

tell your daughter this.do want to end in up bad places when you grow up.no.so stop hang out with your friend(say the girls name).

Answer 4

its very difficult to tell another mother their child is a brat, but even in their company if she does somethin the same as the other child pull her on it, I no it feels then like one is gettin all the blame but she will learn that no matter where or when she behaves badly u wont tolereate it, she will learn and hopefully the other mother will cop her child is  bold an to do somethin about it!! prob not tho!

Answer 5

You should sit your daughter down and explain that even though she enjoys her playtime with  her friend, she shouldn't be copying her misbehavior. Your daughter is challenging you in a way because she knows that you can't really discipline her friend and so she is testing you and she is being more bold when she is around.

You need to stop this behavior because in the long run your daughter won't be benefiting from this and it will only teach her that she doesn't have to respect you as her mother. A child should show respect for her/his parent. You can't expect to get respect if you don't give any first. That is a lesson that every child should learn.

  You can give your daughter a choice, she can either stop copying her friends misbehavior or she is  not allowed to play with her any more.  Be firm with your decision and don't let your decision be swayed, you're  the parent and she is the child.

You should bring it up with the other girl's mother, and even though her mother may get defensive  about her little girl, its better to bring it out because as a parent you have to put your child and her/his needs above your own.

Answer 6

I would not have my 3 year old playing with someone like that.  You're right, they like to copy what others are doing and you will have to be sitting her down all the time to tell her this is not how we behave, etc.  I would try to find someone else for her to spend time with and see the mom at a time when you don't have the kids.

Answer 7

Aww Girl...i feel ya...that is a reallly tough one...

If you have a good relationship with the child's mom, talk to her and express your frustration...tell her you love her and her child and want them to play and be friends, but this is what happens with YOUR child after they have played together..

But i have to say, this is only the beginning. "That kid" is always going to be around...whether it's her cousin, or a kid next door, or in her class at school. There are always going to be kids around that are misbehaving. All you can do, is be the best parent you know how. Address the behavior in your child and do what is right for her. Don't worry about those other kids...you can't control them and they are always going to be there.

Answer 8

i think you should tell your freind and the both of you should have a sit down with both children and explain their behavior is wrong.

hope my advise doesnt suck too much.

good luck and hope you get it sorted soon xxxx
