Social Problems with older sister

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

:?: I am trying to understand something actually two things. #1 why is it that my granddaughter will get her sister in trouble when she knows that what she is saying is not what she was told. And then stand there and let her sister get into trouble at school and at home. If one of the kids say somethig mean and hurtful to her she says nothing unless she tells that her sister said it. #2 She knows what hurts her feeling and makes her feel bad, yet she will do it to other people and think that it’s okay because she didn’t mean to. She is NVLD and some people say this is part of it. I don’t get it. How do you teach them to be socially acceptable, she is not and we have had her here for a year(she was in a group home) It is frustrating and hurtful when the kids will come for her sister to go out and ride bikes go in the neighbors pool and they just don’t bother with her. She is 9 and her sister is 10. I used to tell the oldest that it would be very hurtful to go swimming and Adrienne not be able to. This year I am letting her sister go. I now know that was not fare to her. But I still feel bad. What do I do. I have tried being blunt with her about why the kids don’t ask her but she just gets madder at them and does mean things to get them in trouble.
