Does "Shy Type", "Liar", "Hurting other child's feelings" combine?
Pastilan has a great article about teaching a child to share his "blessings". I am inviting you guys check the article out at http://www.yourparentinginfo.com/learning-to-share/.
But on your Pastilan's last sentence... "If you help your child understand that when one little boy takes a toy from another little boy it is because he wants the toy for himself and not because he wants to hurt the feelings of the other boy, it will help."
My question is: What if the child takes away toys to hurt other child's feeling???
I should be posting this as a comment on the article. But I find this too complicated to be a comment. So I'm asking this one here as a blog post.
My husband's niece is a perfect example. They are two sisters. The 4-year-old girl do always take toys away from her little sister. And when the little girl starts crying, the older one would start smiling and laughing, then looking at us (me, her uncle/my husband, her grand parents), just like telling us of what she had done, that she's great (I think).
There's a twist in there. I'm not a psychologist. But I think there's something wrong.
The older child is a very shy girl. She doesn't speak much. When you ask her something, she won't answer, unlike her younger sister. She's in nurse prep. When she has not yet started schooling, she's so excited to go to school. I had told her what she would do in school, and she's so eager to start schooling. But when she started schooling, she hates school. She doesn't want to play with her classmates. It's weird because she's just about 3 1/2 years old at that time. And she's been playing with a lot of children on her neighborhood.
She doesn't want to sleep either when the teacher tells the kids to have a nap. And the weirdest thing for me is she doesn't eat anything during lunch on school!!!
Here's a COMPLETE list on her menu:
She's also a liar. At her age, I can't imagine she can lie. My brother can't even lie or keep a little secret when he was still a naughty little kid. And here's a girl who is so shy to the maximum level, and yet always tell lies, and even makes her little sister cry.
When I saw her doing her thing, I always tell her to give the toy back, and ask her "Are you a good girl?" She'll answer yes. Then I'll tell her that if she's a good girl, she must not take toys away from her little sister. But still, she kept on doing that.
Does "shy type", "liar", "hurting other child's feelings" combine? I want to shape up that kid. She's a good kid but with a twist. I think her grand parents and parents are not doing any right thing about it. I saw them laughing and telling the younger girl to stop crying.

Ganda post ito! Nice question. Hindi lang ganito si Jhanna. I'm proud to say she's kind to her playmates.
"What if the child takes away toys to hurt other child's feeling?"
I think it would be a matter of time before the child realizes that it is wrong to do that. Sana hindi mag-give up ang caretakers niya on disciplining her. Pag napabayaan lalala.
naku what can you say naman about her parents or yaya or baka playmates? hindi naman basta basta nagiging ganyan ang mga bata. sayang naman.
It goes back to the parents. The environment of the child really makes her into what she is right now. I have encountered many children like what you have described.
Thanks for promoting my post in YourParentingInfo.com Berry :) I have weekly post in that site and in their other sites too.
@gem caretakers? you mean yaya? walang yaya yung bata. parents lang nya nagbabantay sa kanya. pinagalitan ko nga ng husto yung bata. kc nung isang beses, itinutulak nya yung lil sis nya and muntik na nalaglag sa stairs!!!
pinagalitan ko sabay isang katutak na explain. ni-ask ko pa nga sya..."gusto mo bang mamatay kapatid mo?" aba hindi ako sinagot! or course ayaw nya, hindi lang sya sumagot. sabi ko, pag nalalaglag sis nya kc tinulak nya, mamamatay kapatid nya. medyo tinakot ko na, kc muntik na talagang malalag sa hagdan.
@calvin siguro hindi masyadong tinuturuan ng tama yung bata. mabait talaga yung bata. may attitude prob nga lang sa pag agaw ng toys.
@pastilan I really don't know kung anong nangyari at ganun yung batang yun. Sana anak ko, hindi ganun.
Di bale mas madaling baguhin ang attitude ng bata. Sana bumait pag tanda ng konti.
Delikado nga yung ginawa niya sa little sis niya. Kung sakaling natuloy yun, kasalanan pa rin ng nagbabantay sa kanya. :-(
ang nagbabantay sa "kanila" was parents-in-law ko, and ako naman eh paalis na, papasok ata ako ng ofc nun eh
"kanila" - composed of baby ivan, the little girl, the younger girl, baby ___ (no english name pa)
oo nga pala is baby ___, ang ibinansag sa kanya ng parents nya is "ientaw" meaning "pogi" hmmmmm
