    I would use the age difference as a defence. Please remind child XXX and I will remind her too here at daycare that she is 4 years old and that there special toys for the grown up children to use that the younger children either are not allowed to use or show little interest in. It is also important that the older children realize this and allow the younger ones to have first access to some of the baby toys.

    Since child XXX will be starting school soon, it is important that we remind her that now she is 4 and that with that comes expectations for learning, playing and behaviour. She will have a much better experience both in daycare and at school if we can help her with this.

Her parents and I had long discussions and they think it is parental seperation anxiety. She has been coming to me for FOUR yrs, now she's anxious? Parents are coddling her excessively. Yesterday she came with bro at lunch because Dad said on phone she is too sad to come in a.m. She came in wailing and Dad left in tears and then suddenly she was happy happy again.
    Light bulb went off- we have all been played. She has been getting new outfits, toys and treats since this "depression" has begun and she has continued it because it has been working out really well for her. Today she came in a.m. kind of o.k. when Dad showed at lunch with bro she did the histerical thing again until he left and then was happy again. I told her she needs to stop doing this to her parents her response was to smirk and say o.k. I thought I was going to miss this long time dcg, but now I can't wait for school to start and say bye bye to her manipulative behaviour.
    She is a genius lol I wish that behaviour worked on adults...lol..if I got new things everytime I got upset, I would throw tantrums all the time! lol
