DD just turned five and is going through a phase of policing everyone’s behaviour. Particularly her little brother and will repeat everything I say to him. E.g if I tell him he can’t eat a stone she will say yeah you can’t eat that it’s bad for you. This makes him angrier than he already is (terrible twos). But, I found out she also does it to her peers in school after the parents evening chat with her teacher.
I’ve tried to explain that it’s parents and teachers jobs to correct people and her job to have fun and not worry about other people not using a spoon correctly or repeating everything I say to her little brother.
I worry she will alienate herself at school and it winds up her brother which causes arguments and is driving me mad. Any tips??
