16m dd is a bit of a wuss.

[victoriascrumptious]

Everytime I take her to Mother & Toddlers (twice a week since she was born) she gets thumped, kicked or pushed several times. Of course that's normal for kids but mine just seems to be more of a target.

She's never exhibited any form of aggression and she 'shares'. Earlier today in a group she gave a car to a little boy as is normal for her and he responded by whacking her over the head with it. Cue tears and hiding behind Mummy for the next 10mins.

She's a very confident child in all other aspects. She's normal size,pretty, nothing physically that would make her stand out.

I'm not sure whether i've done something wrong.

She sounds like a caring, considerate child rather then a wuss. The other toddlers need to learn not to hurt other children, she's not the one at fault here.

Fluff, i'm at a bit of a loss because if I follow her around in the group to avoid her getting hurt I worry that i'll dent her confidence by hovering but if I don't she gets injured and I feel dreadul. Other mothers of the agressive children just sit back and ignore and I don't know whether it's unreasonable to say something to them .

Also not sure whether I am fussing to much. She is my PFB and I notice other mums kind of sit there and chat and drink tea ignoring their LO's;which is fine, but then their kids dont seem to get whacked so often.

They should be controling their children! I'd look for another group to be honest, I wouldn't be too happy if my child was being treated this way by other children and their parents sat and did nothing.

Victoria - she sounds totally normal and nice, not a wuss at all! The other mums should be looking out for their own kids (not possible 100% of the time and kids do beahve like this unfortunately, but it sounds like its happening more often than not) - it is possible to chat, drink tea, and make sure your child isn't terrorising other children at the same time! Try a different group then you might be able to compare?
