... she's 2.3 if that makes any difference...?
Am I overreacting to be embarrassed? Obviously if she was 4 or 5 and saying this, it'd be very clear to me that it's utteraly unacceptable, but at this age I don't think she really knows what that sort of thing sounds like...? Also she's quite inexperienced at playdates, poor mite, for various reasons she hasn't done many of them and she's not at nursery or anything yet so her social skills are, shall we say, in development...
I've told her, in a quiet moment later, that it wasn't kind to say this and that her friend was being very nice to let her play with her toys. And suggested that she 'didn't really mean it", and what she probably meant to say was that she'd like her friend to come and play with her toys at our house some time...
She was a bit wobbly lower lip, but obviously I don't know what if anything about the message has really got through to her.
Any tips for what to say if she does it again? And/or am I being silly to be so mortified by it?
