Thanks everyone That is pretty much the response I go with at the moment... it just doesn't seem to be curbing it... I suppose she will ahve to grow out of it in her own time! I suppose I just don't like the thought of what it will cost her if she does/says these kinds of things in the playground at school - I don't want her to alienate everyone because she has a tendancy to be bossy and stompy. Am I worrying too much?
