My daughter is 6. She is generally content, not too badly behaved, happy at school & has friends. Her behaviour completely changes at children's parties and it is quite embarrassing. It is particularly obvious if there are games with one winner or an element of competition. For a start she will not let me leave the party (virtually every other parent does). I don't mind staying but she is clingy, will not take part, wants sweets from the outset, complains if she does not like the sweets, is tearful and winges if she does not win or at the smallest incident. I think my best bet is to make an excuse and not go to the next party or insist if she wants to go that I do not go with her (she would not dare behave like this on her own I hope!!). Does anyone has any similar experiences or ideas? If she was 3 I could understand it more.
