DD will be 3 in a few months. She's a very sensitive, intense, high needs kind of girl. Lately she's been particularly difficult with other kids. She pushes, she shoves, she yells and tries to physically take toys out of other kids hands. She's also very bossy.
I'm wondering if this is developmental? Do most kids go through this? I'm so frustrated with the behavior, it is no fun getting together with other kids. It just ends in frustration, for both of us. I'm wondering if we'd be better off avoiding get togethers with kids for awhile and wait until she's older and better able to understand sharing and turn taking and how to express her feelings with words rather then yelling (she's very verbal and can express herself well but when she's angry or frustrated she reverts to screaming) or if it'd be better to continue to get together and give her more opportunities to work through her frustrations and learn how to handle these situation better?
If we avoid being around other kids will she still learn not to push/shove/grab and yell? Will she learn how to ask for things she wants, wait her turn and share? Honestly, I'm leaning towards avoiding being around other kids for awhile because it is so draining but I'm worried that I might be making things worse in the long run by doing so. Any thoughts/experiences/advice?
