Kid who makes everyone else do stuff for her

[SilverSabre25]

What do you do with a kid who sits herself down with a "collection" of toys and spends her playtime issuing orders to the other children basically trying to get them to do her playing for her?

Even when I kick her out of her chosen location, and get her away from her day's collection, she still issues directives like she's the queen's own self. And if no one follows her orders, she finds a small space and faces the corner (or back of the couch or whatever) and sits there silently lining up her collection of toys or sorting them into groups.

She's 3.5.

LOL! :: As I am reading this I am telling my "King of the Others" that he cannot be the boss of everyone and every thing.

We usually play a game where every kid gets to have a turn being the "Boss" of everyone else for a day. It helps the one who is so bossy already see that it isn't always so fun and gives the others a chance to be the bossy one.

Just for good measure, I make sure the bossy-by-nature child get the last turn to be the boss.
