I know this goes against the grain somewhat but I feel it is valid as a "concern" for me as a parent.
DD is nearly 2.5 and whilst she has her moments, she is around other children, unbelievably considerate. Too much so if that is possible.
Today at a playdate she walked passed the little boy and said "sorry, excuse me". She gives away her toys and will happily let them be grabbed off her and pushed and pulled around without a peep, she just walks back to me confused.
She makes the most polite, grown-up conversation it is almost funny and talks in the most quaint manner. She is affectionate and very gentle and kind especially with babies. It sounds mad but she is like an old soul and very sensible and can't understand what is quite "normal" behavior of this age group like shouting and tantruming and running riot.
Has anyone any experience of this kind of child? I am so worried about bullying. I love her to bits and don't want her idiosyncrasies to change but wish she would toughen up a bit for her own good really. She starts pre-school soon and I am concerned.
