I have a new 5yr old DCG that started about 3 weeks ago, maybe 4.
She isn't used to being around younger kids. This is a big adjustment for her. There are also a few other behaviors I want to address with mom, but I don't want to bombard her with all these "bad" things her child does.
Have I given it enough time for DCG to adjust and should i start talking with mom?
Here is a list of what im working on with DCG:
1. not hitting, squeezing arms, pushing the younger kids when they do something she doesn't like (touch her, take her toy). She needs to tell me and I will get the toy back, move the child, etc)
2. Not taking toys out of the younger kids' hands.
3. Cleaning up. There is always an excuse when it comes time to clean up.
4. A few times a day she will completely ignore me. Sometimes it will be during an activity, if she is upset about something, other reason that I don't even know. She will just stare at me and wont respond at all. Ill leave her alone and eventually she rejoins us. (just wondering if she does this at home or just here)
Is there anything you wouldn't address with mom? Mom thinks she is very mature and isn't a big fan of there being only 1 other older child her. (DCG will only be here until june so mom is going to try and stick it out). I don't really see any maturity...she seems like an average 4-5 yr old who needs a little more help socially.
any advice would be great
