I havent been on much this year but something is really troubling me and I need some advice from other DCPs that have school agers.
My dd is 8. We switched her to another school last year but she still keeps in touch with her friends from the old school. A new girl started at the old school and through girl scouts my dd learned about her. My dd actually felt a little like this girl took her "place" Anyway I invited new girl to a sleepover party and ended up getting her as an after school kid. My hope was that they'd become friends.. New girl is only here for five to thirty minutes. New girl still barely talks to dd after a month ![]() I allow dd to have her old friends over after school still too. Yesterday one came over. New girl and friend ran off into the house after getting off the bus, neither one saying hi to dd. Left dd in tears in the driveway. When dd came into the house, I learned later, New girl rolled her eyes at dd. What would you do? |

As far as the attitude towards DD and the eye rolling, I would put a stop to that. It's rude. You're at MY house you respect MY rules and my family. |

Oh how I remember those days, when my own girls were around that age. And it seemed to continue right on into high school. So much back biting, so many games played. It was horrible watching my kids come home so sad.

I think in your case I might get the 3 girls together and have a talk with them. Something along the lines of " From this time to this time we are all together and I expect you all to get along with each other. There will be no excluding one and two of you just going off together. At this house, everyone is included and we all talk to each other." If it continues after that just make other arrangements. Either don't watch new girl or tell old girl she can only come over at times new girl isn't there. My daughter would be comfortable in her own home. Laurel |

Girl relationships are way more difficult in 3's. I don't know why but 2 always pair up and leave one out. I suggest not having the non daycare friend over for a bit. Get an activity together for your DD and SA dcg to do together. Have a talk with them and say that they will both be spending some time together each day and they should work on being friends. Maybe if they do each others nails or do an art project together they will bond a llittle. If it doesn't seem to work itself out i would term though. Your DD should feel at ease in her own home.

I have had to term because kids didn't mesh with my kid. It really sucks but the way I see it is that my kid didn't choose to be part of a home daycare and she shouldn't have to deal with that stress. I once held onto a horrible kid for 7 months trying to make it work. Never again!

![]() I have also found that the number 3 is a difficult relationship. I had that happen at a preschool I worked at. Laurel |

Been there!
My now 14 year old is sensitive, creative, and slightly OCD. When he was 10, I had a 10 year old 2nd shift kiddo (just starting back in to dc) who was physical, ADHD, and really into sports. Add DCB to my son's room (the only place with "big kid" toys at the time), and it was NOT cool. I ended up blaming my husband, saying he didn't want me to do 2nd shift anymore, which was true...sort of. ![]() |
