Anyone else get like this?

Have put this in my diary too but thought more people might see it in here as well....

This always gets me and I wondered if anyone else has this issue (or if I am a complete fruit loop). We went to the park today and H goes on the slide thing which is also a climbing frame etc and has a little table and benches in a house thing. She sits down on the benches at the table and gets sooooo excited when other kids come in and sit down too.
She chats away in her own language (cos still not clear talking yet) and the other kids talk to her and come and go. She doesn't get disheartened or upset, she just chats to whoever is there and if no one there she comes down the slide.

It really chokes me up though and I don't know why - I feel so bad for her that she can't talk to them properly and they lose interest, and that she gets soooo excited to see other kids.
Am I normal to feel like this?! How on earth will I cope when she goes to school when I know how horrible kids are to each other sometimes....

I really wouldn't worry hun. We tend to see things as adults and not as children. I know I've done it a million times and have to stop and realise that as long as they're happy, then that's what they are - happy. As long as it's not an issue for her then there's nothing to worry about.

School - yes kids can be horrile to each other sometimes. But that's something they have to learn to deal with (as hard as it is for us to handle) cos not everyone's nice in the real world. Our job as parents is to teach them how to dela with it. And kids forgive and forget so fast. My son can have an argument with someone and come home upset about it one day, and yet they're best of friends the next xx
