I think 1 of your adverts caused my internet browser to resize, you might would like to put that in your blacklist. Queen Bees and Drama Queens is really a cool name for a blog BTW

I work part time in a kindergarten here in Denmark. Although less frequent, I have witnessed a lot of times when boys would play the same manipulative games as girls. “If I can’t have your sword you’re not my friend anymore” or, better still “...you can’t come to my birthday!”.

I watch these and other intense emotional dramas played out by 3-6 years old children with amazement. Basically, they’re exploring and playing with emotions in the same way they explore every other aspect of life: wholeheartedly and without control. It’s beautiful in a way because they don’t judge themselves for doing so – they just do it.
The judgment comes later on…

And, a child that explores such states doesn’t necessarily become a “bad selfish manipulative” person. So don’t despair!

Many greetings

I think it's because women are conditioned, even in these days to see other women as competition. It's sad that it can be seen so early in girls. I taught preschool for two years, and the boys were just so "straightforward" in their fights. The girls were another matter altogether!

My seven year old has pulled the "I don't love you!" when he is angry at me. I've been to lunch several times with him and I have seen some argument between the boys of who sits by who. (or whom? eh, so what) But I've yet to hear threats of withdrawing friendship. However, I'm just there at lunch, not in the classroom. I can remember these types of girls in early elementary school too. It's sad. Queen of Shake Shake's last blog post..Changing My Name from Queen of Shake-Shake

My 2 year old son has daily knock-down/drag-outs with two other boys in his class. He tells me about “time out” like it’s a badge of honor. He tells me, “Grant hit me. Adam BAM!” And punches the air. No drama with the toddler boys thus far. Just a a couple of left hooks and they’re friends again.

It's sad this starts at such a young age. It's heart breaking when as teenagers they tell you they don't love you when they get angry and think you're being unfair for having rules to abide too. killlashandra's last blog post..Wordless Wednesday - Buck
