I don't have any answers for you other than teaching your girls how to "handle" things like you have already done, beyond that the best I can suggest is talking to her parents which it seems wouldn't be that much help either since they're not always around? Perhaps asking that this bully be supervised by an adult or telling your girls to stay in reach of an adult at all times but it doesn't seem very practical...sorry i'm rambling in your comments :D I’m so sorry :( My heart breaks for your little girls because I was bullied constantly as a child and it just sucks.

Some littleones just don't know how to express themselves. My best friends daughter had a sharing problem. It took a while but we eventually got her to share by telling her that SM couldn't play with her if she wasn't willing to share her toys. We also let her know that sharing was temporary, this eased her fears that SM was going to KEEP her toys. What a tough situation. Some littleones just don’t know how to express themselves.

One is always taking things from our two girls, so we are also trying to teach our girls to take things back and say no. : ) I thought you would get a kick out of this one. : ) Well okay since you asked, we seem to have a similar problem with these two TWIN girls : ) hee hee.

Fortunately, we haven't really had to deal with any of this. The kids my own children have played with and play with now have all been top notch. But when Hannah was two, I often took her to play with my friend's little girl who was a year older. This girl was THE biggest brat, although she has turned into a lovely girl. I'm not sure what provokes hitting, but perhaps she's doing it to get attention, which she obviously gets when her mother yanks her away for a timeout. Good for you and your wife, and good for your kids, for handling the situation so well. If it were me, I'd be livid. Think "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" livid. UGH.
