Over the festive period we've had various visitors and so I've seen, more than I would normally, how my Dd behaves in groups and with her peers and it's not been great.
She frequently interrupts and talks over people and when they're talking about something they like to do or have done she'll often jump in with yet another anecdote about herself. It's quite excruciating to watch! In addition she can be quite bossy at times (a trait she definitely gets from me and which I've had to learn to keep under control over the years!)
She's part of a close group of friends but I can see how her behaviours annoy them at times and I've picked up from her teacher that she's not very popular with the wider peer group.
I've tried explaining about how her behaviour comes across and that friendship is about listening as much as talking but she just carries on regardless. She is having her friends over for a sleepover tonight and I really don't want to see these behaviours displaying themselves again.
Any advice / tips on how to get through yo her or help her would be gratefully received! She'll be 11yrs old this week btw
