So, my daughter is bossy. This is not news, this has been a struggle for her for a while. She is in JK now and I informed both the teacher and the b&a staff that this has been an issue, please address it and help curb it however they feel fit (and gave examples of how we deal with it e.g. she is redirected re: how to speak to the other child or someone intervenes and directs the situation, my daughter is removed if she continues and we have done some role playing to learn a new way of interacting). I even checked in with the school after the first month and a half and they said no issues.

Well, the teacher has told us now that she has received 2 complaints from 2 separate parents re: my kid being bossy with their kid. I am going to call the teacher tomorrow after speaking with my daughter. Anyone struggle with this with their own child? My daughter's bossiness includes needing to be in control of how the game goes, the rules, who can play etc. She has lot's of ideas and is quite creative and seems to think that no one else has something to contribute. She also lacks empathy (great, I've just described a serial killer!) She is really focused on herself and helping her to develop empathy toward others when talking about situations where she is bossy is hard. She gets it a little bit more when you apply it to herself e.g. if Suzy told you that you had to play everything her way how would you feel? but the application of these skills has been harder. Help!
