my daughter is 23 months old but she understands emotions very well as in if i cry she would come and wipe my?
tears she would check for a hundred times after that if i'm still sad, she would tell my hubby when he returns from work mumma didn't eat n was sad, its actually surprising to see sucha young kid understand so much. my problem is i have this friend who has same age girl they keep coming to our place and my daughter shares her toys gives her kid almost everything, but when we go to their house her kid never shares anything infact my daughter doesn't even asks her for toys she would just come and whisper in my ears "mumma can i play with some toys" even if we are at their home for the whole day she wouldn't touch her toys without asking her and if that girl refuses she will never touch it, this makes me feel sad so i told my friend and she shrugged her shoulders saying yes my daughter doesn't share what can i do about it, also that they keep telling me my daughter is ugly n stuff like that but what mother can stand that, do you guys think my daughter understands all of these things too

You have a very smart and sweet daughter by the way. Honestly I think your daughter does understand with what they are saying and probably gets hurt by it. That is probably why she won't take toys from there. If I were you I would bring her toys over there so she can play with her toys while her daughter plays with her own. that way if their daughter tries to play with them say no you have your toys... if she doesn't want to share with your daughter then I wouldn't make your daughter share her toys if you go over to their house... that is rude that the mother would say what can i do... they need to teach her that sharing is good.. and not just let their daughter take a toy away from yours. that is irresponsilbe of them. I'm so sorry for what your daughter is probably going through.. she sounds like a sweet loving child and no one should have to put up with that crap. I hope everything gets better... and if they say she is ugly i would tell them not to say that anymore.. i can't believe another parent will say that about another child.. how rude

First of all, what are you doing being friends with someone who calls your daughter ugly???? I wouldn't have anything to do with those people, I don't care how long you have known them...... thats horrible!
Your daughter is a compassionate loving girl! Enjoy that!
Babies understand more than you know they do, when you are sad, they know that and they want to make you feel better, because thats what you do to them when they are sad. As for the sharing toys, you have an awesome kid!!!!!!
I hope nobody is telling your daughter to her face that she is ugly, I would punch them in the face and tell them there mother is ugly! How dare they!
Never tell your child that they are ugly, no matter what age they are. I don't know if she would understand that or not, but she will someday......
Ditch your friends and find new ones... thats the advice I have for you.

That is sad. I would definately sit your friend down without the kids around and address your concernes. It is not ok for them to be telling you that your daughter is unattractive. If the kids cant get along (or if your friend will not address this with her daughter) the only thing left to do is cut ties, or limit play dates. Let your friend know that if she will not do anything regarding her daughter then the kids shouldnt be around eachother for a while, and you will have to be "adult only" friends (without involving the children). Its just too hard to try to address someone elses parenting style. If the friendship is that important to you, this seems like the only option. You could also wait until her daughter gets a little older and understands more and try it again.

Yes, your daughter is intuitive, but you had an adult conversation with your friend - who sounds like a jealous, bitter loser. Your sadness or emotions are not what's going to affect your daughter, it is the negative vibe and careless demeanor of your friend and her little one. My advice? Get some better play dates... people who will make positive impressions on your baby.

i am sure she understands if the mother is negative to her. why would you bring your daughter around people like that? the woman is obviously not a nice person and is raising her daughter the same way. i would try to find a new family to bring your child around. You dont want her to get upset because they are being mean or excluding her.

I'm sure your daughter understands, if not the specifics, at least the intent. If she can read your mood, she can read theirs.
It sounds like you ought to another friend. If she won't tell her own children to be nice to a toddler, your little girl will suffer in that bad mojo.
She sounds like a wonderful, caring, generous little soul. Find her some playmates who appreciate such a nice little girl.

They are not youf friends, that's it !! I would stop hanging round people that don't respect me or the ones I love!! My little girl is 23 months as well and she understands a lot of emotions to, when I am sick she improve her beahavior, she wipe my tears, she know when I am mad, whe knows when I am not happy and all that, but I don't think she will be able to understand when somebady is saying nasty thing about her !! So don't worry for that, but do something about it!! Let them know they hurt you and the fact that they should not be doing or saying things like that to you !! If they don't get it is time to get rid off them!!
GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LITTLE ONE!!

first of all, i imagine it is truly unhappy that the human beings at Church doesn't settle for him for who's become. i idea the conception of Church become that folk will be time-honored unconditionally. besides, it sounds truly demanding on you. Your father and mom for sure needed him to manage you more suitable than he did, yet at the same time, you're an human being and would pick to spend time with whoever you wish. I were in some exceedingly poor relationships, and at the same time as my father and mom made their thoughts time-honored, they'd under no circumstances make me make a call from the guy and my family members as they'd want me to ascertain issues out for myself - it particularly is how that is going to be once you're an human being. It appears like this guy become offering you with the chilly shoulder previously you even despatched that textual content, so do not beat your self up over it. If he particularly felt a similar he would strive against for you. it will be that he doesn't experience a similar, or is emotionally immature and doesn't understand the thanks to manage those forms of thoughts. At any fee, you made your thoughts time-honored, and for even if reason he chosen now to not reply. As you're saying he's somewhat a loner and perhaps he prefers his existence that way. If he become no longer treating you appropriate and under no circumstances making any attempt, that isn't honest on you. it is not person-friendly to recuperate out of your previous love even though it receives more suitable in time. even if is meant to be will finally locate its way. If he ought to be with you, enable him make that attempt because in case you're attempting to get him lower back now, you may have set the wheels in action to be the only making each and each of the attempt back. i imagine if he's replaced his variety, he maximum in all probability purely ought to be by myself.

If someone said my daughter was ugly, we would not be friends anymore. That's all. I'd stay away from her, what kind of friend says her friend's child is ugly? She'd be lucky I didn't stomp her down.
