I guess my DD is bossy. I took my 5yo and 3yo to lunch at a fast food restuarant for lunch and their playground. My 5yo was trying to get the kids to play a certain way and there was a little 2/3yo who didn't understand what they were doing and came down to his mom. The mom sitting right next to me said something to him to the extent that my DD was being bossy. I was taken aback. Yes, I guess my DD is "bossy", she wants to get everyone involved in playing a game or pretend to do something. She is always coming up with elaborate pretend play situations and wants to play with others.

I come home and google bossy kids and this pops-up, which got me thinking.

I guess I had never really thought too much about it, and never really attached the word Bossy to her. I think I did all the wrong things on the ride home (according to the article).

Any advice.
