my oldest girl will be 4 soon and there is this little girl next door that is a couple years older, when ever my daughter see her she gets excited about playing with her. she'd ask can I play with you, can I play with you alot. the only thing that the little girl wants to do is use my daughter truck to drive up and down the block, that's what I think. I feel bad that my daughter ask to play with her alot b/c she don't know it. I've invited the little girl to play inside the house and backyard already and all she wants to do is drive the truck that my daughter has.

We had the same kind of problem with some neighbor kids that lived across the street from us. I was a teenager at the time, my sister a few years younger and my bro was just a little little kid. They would always come over to ask if they could swim in our pool. That's all they ever wanted to do. We got pretty sick of it so we started telling them that we had just put chemicals in it so no one could swim - ya know, we made up things so they would either go away or play with our brother outside. Usually they would just go back home, but sometimes they would stay and do other things.
Just take the truck away and if she really wants to play she'll stay and the girls can do something else. My little brother knew those kids were only coming over to swim most of the time and I don't think it really hurt his feelings when they would leave. They were annoying kids anyway, really obnoxious. I felt bad for them since they didn't have a very comfortable or happy home life, but sometimes you just have to put your foot down.
Good luck :)

Take the truck inside and say ur daughter isnt playing with it for a little while and that she can find something else to play. if ur daughter gets upset tell her that she can play in the yard with the truck or that she can play tomorrow with the truck (say it not in front of neighbours girl) and that she should find a toy to play with, with the neighbour.

Do whats right for your daughter she might be mad at first but she will understand later in life. Put her around kids her own age. There are gonna be alot of times that you have to do things she's not gonna like because she doesn't understand but she will later!!! Or you can tell the kids it broke and disconnect the battery or something and then see what the other child does just to make sure!

I would put the truck away. Hide it and invite her over to play. If she asks for it, tell her it is put away for a while. If she doesn't want to play with your daughter after that, then you know she is using her.

put the truck in the "shop" (out of service) for awhile and inform the parents of the other child that this would be a good idea for a birthday present since she loves your daughters truck so much.

the amazing thing is kids work out their own issues given time I understand your concern but sometimes what starts out as a using relationship can develop into a friendship.. when parents step in hard feelings and restrictions develop allow your daughter time she'll make the right decision ,,, it may surprise you
remember she's learning interaction with others

The girl is using your daughter. Teach your daughter to choose friends that like her for who she is and not what she has. Take her to the park and find her a new friend.

Hide the truck for a week and see what happens.
