Yes, playgroups can be like that. I love them! 😆 Children generally find their own way to negotiate spaces and other children, they’ll probably end up being best friends. The child sounds like she is overstimulated and possibly having trouble expressing herself, I’m sure (with help), she’ll settle.

As you probably know I’m not a parent myself but have worked with young children for 20years. I find children’s development fascinating. 😊 Hope I’m coming across ok and am not too much! 😀xx

I think that child needs her space. If you can, keep W at a certain distance from her (subtly) or if you can, play alongside them both. The child is obviously having some difficulties at the moment so you’ll be supporting both her and W whichever you choose. X

Sorry, I thought it was more of a targeted ramming into her. It kind of sounds accidental now (child developing her spatial awareness). Sounds like you did the right thing and it doesn’t sound like you did any ‘telling off’ which is what you were worried about. 😊xx

I think the other child is wanting a reaction… maybe her way of trying to instigate an interaction, whether it becomes positive attention or not (testing boundaries). I would probably say something like “Oh dear. No thank you”. If you go down to their level (on your knees) it won’t be a telling off.

Give your attention to the ‘victim’ ( your daughter). The other toddler wants the attention so deny them it. If they do it again I would overdo the attention on Willow and maybe invite the child over to show them how sad Willow is… toddlers can’t empathise yet but it’ll be a part of their learning.
