Actually crying while trying to type this
Most of you know I have 4 girls age 10, twin girls age 6 and a 2 year old. I am so concerned for one of my Twins 'K' her Sister 'D' is a very happy go lucky girl who hardly ever has a cross word to say, gets on with everyone at school and I have no concerns about her.
Her twin is SO the opposite . I have been 'Spoken To' by her teachers a few times over the past 2 weeks about behaviour in class and the playground. She has always been a bit fiery and quite an angry child. In Nursery she bit a child, in reception she occasionally pinched but I thought it had got better.
I was wrong!!! She has repeatedly been disruptive in class, not really badly but just occasional ignoring teacher, making silly noises etc.... In the playground she has hurt other children and twice this week has been told off por pushing another child. When I have asked her about this she has always got a reason (in her opinion) such as 'so and so pushed in the line' or 'so and so trod on my foot on purpose'
I have explained over and over that even if another child does this it doesn't mean she can retaliate in this way
At home she constantly picks on her twin although they play nice sometimes. I know they are sisters and sisters fight but even if 'D' walks past she nudges or walks into her etc..
Today she came home crying because no one wants to play with her!!! I am not supprised
I have talked to her before and explained that if she continues to hurt others she will make other children worry about being hurt by her.
This is getting long so will stop here but you get the idea!!
Help, I feel like I am failing her How can I have 2 children the same but so vey different??
