My 5 year old gets treated like dirt one day from the 6 year old across the street. But, when no one else is around she will play with her and be nice. I am tired of her getting upset each time this 6 year old does this. There are 3 kids next door 5, 6, & 8 y.o. Also 6, 9 &15 y.o. across the street. My kids are 17, 13, 9 & 5.
All the kids play together well most of the time. My 5 year old seems to get picked on. I want to say something to the 6y.o.'s mom but what? This is not the first time, propbably about the 20th time this has happened.

Her mom is one of my best friends. But, she is really having a hard time in her life now. I just do want to cause waves.

The little girl likes to lie and is totally spoiled! The 6 y.o. usually does this at my next door neighbors house.

I have tried to set up the kids so she will hear her. That did not work. I usually send her home. I used to tell her brother when he did that to go tell your mom what you did. He would tell her. He now leaves my son alone, and plays friendly. Should I try that again?

If it worked the first time it might work twice. I would talk to her mother calmly and gently. Maybe find out why she does this and see if the solution might be easier.

Yes, go over and have a chat with the Mom of the little bully. Just tell her the situation and that you just want your kids to be friends. Just one tip - make sure the kids don't know about the chat since they need to gain confidence, independence and skills to work out things on their own, but all parents should be aware of bad behavior. Also, have a talk with your child and tell her (him?) that the other kids is wrong, that she has to speak up and tell the kid and to just come home if the other kid does not listen.

I suggest you say something or this will continue because kids can really be mean to each other! Why not have this woman over and let the kids go in another room and you have the mother listen nearby as to how her kid treats you kid or some setup like that. You don't want hard feelings between you and this woman to cause tension since she is your neighbor.

I got a kid in my neighborhood who does this kind of thing to my 8 year old. I never said anything to his parents...chances are that's where he gets the issues from. I just tell my son that he needs to decide if this is the way he wants his "friends" to treat him, if not than find someone else to be friends with. Good Luck.

You just half to let her know how her child is acting. Just make sure that you are not angry about it when you get ready to talk so she wont feel like you are attacking her child. Most parents want you to tell them when there children are being mean. And if she gets mad I am sur she wont be mad long cause she of all people should know how her child is.

maybe you should suggest to the 6 year old that she's not being very nice and if she doesn't want to play nicely she'll have to go home and you'll explain to her mother why.

I agree that you need to tell the six year old to play nicely or you'll tell her mom.

u obviously are not teaching her enough then...let her talk to her older siblings about handling it, or tell her to stand up for herself.
