I don't know what has happened to her, but in the past year my 6 year old dd went from being a quiet, extremely shy child (one that would let other children walk all over her) to a bossy, pushy child who is doing the walking. Even to kids older than her. I don't know if it's the school she was in this past year for kindergarten or if it's just part of her development.
She will have friends over and will manipulate them to get them to do what she wants. If they don't want to do what interests her, things like writing a book or her teaching them division she will make comments such as "it's easy, why wouldn't you want to do it?".
I've had talks with her about it and told her that in order to have friends she has to be a friend to no avail. I'm really worried that if she continues on this path nobody is going to want to play with her.
