DD (5) has just had a friend over after school and she behaved appallingly. After a snack, I asked them what they wanted to do and listed some things - the friend said she wanted to do dressing up, DD went into melt down / horrific tantrum becasue she wanted to do painting.
This meant I had to amuse her friend (doing dressing up) whilst DD was told to calm down and made to apologise. This melt down lasted about 15 minutes and eventually the pair made up and ended the afternoon as best of friends.
DH says she shouldn't be allowed to have any friends over until she learns to behave. (As today wasn't the first time this has happened>)
But how can she learn to behave if she doesn't have any friends over? At my wits end.
HELP !!
