Hi everyone, just wanted to see if anyone else has ever experienced this because I have never seen any other children I know do this. My DD has recently turned 3, she is very social, doesn't stop talking and is quite intense. When by ourselves she is generally quite a good listener. When around her friends and their parents however her behavior towards us changes to the complete opposite. I am not sure whether she is just copying her friends all of whom tend to go to their parents if they need anything and for comfort, as well as usually only hold hands with their parents etc. So my DD does exactly the same i.e. will never come to us if she wants anything including comfort, will only hold hands with friends parents etc. This is then usually followed by refusing to do anything we ask her to do and throwing tantrums/hitting if she doesn't get her way. She also goes to nursery so not sure whether that contributes to this behavior (at nursery obviously any of the adults can help her with anything she needs). Has anyone else experienced this and what is the best way to respond to this sort of behavior? Feeling like I've failed as a parent when it comes to this and it makes any meet ups with friends stressful and frustrating. In need of some help and advice! 😞
