No no .. she used the loop hole for calling your child bossy. The talk to your child method; where it is perfectly fine to explain how another child is bossy or selfish or whatever right in front of the other child's parent.
I've seen this method used on numerous occasions and still don't understand how a parent could be that insensitive. I always feel for the parent and the child they are talking about.
And thanks for the link for bossy. I, too, have a fairly bossy kid. When we go to the playground she is always trying to act out whatever is in her imagination and gets frustrated when the other kids just don't get it. Interestingly enough, while at school I don't see this side of her or at least haven't heard about it. I know she has a few close friends there that are clearly gifted themselves and they just get her and have no problems playing in her way. That really helps.
