A little girl next door that comes around to play with my baby just told me a weird thing yesterday that she doesn't love her mum.Well,the mum yells at her a lot when she does things wrongly. I have never experienced this,so I'm at a lost on how to about with this.
I'm wondering the best way to tackle this.Do i speaks to the mum about this or i rather talk to the little girl.Anyone experience this? whats the best solution?

How old is the girl?? It is very common for young children up to 5 years to say such things when they are upset and do not get appropriate words to express. You an help her by saying-"You seem upset with your mom. But your mom loves you a lot and you can talk to her and say that it upsets you when she shouts". The child might be just upset with her mom's screaming and is using a strong word "hate" to express it.

It can be a great idea to help her. This feeling of being upset with her mom needs to get away from her heart.

I think little kids are just like that when they are being told about what they did wrong. Some kids are just a bit more showy of their feelings at the time but will outgrow it eventually when they realize their parents meant them no harm.
I think you should try to talk to the mom when you have chatted with the kid why she is hating on her mom. You will probably get some answers from her as all children love to talk, right? I think if the reasons she says are quite valid and not really simple ones, then it is a concern you might want to bring up to the mom - but it could backfire on the kid. You may understand them more since you are neighbors, i would you could weigh the situation better and goodluck on this. .

I think you shouldn't tell the mom yet. Just try and observe the title girl first and the mom too when they are together. You can talk to the girl and ask her why she hates her mom and try to comfort her and assure her that her mom loves her anyway.

This feeling sometimes hit the growing children when they don't get the love and attention they need. I think her mum need to understand her psychology and what she wants

@augusta123 It will help to re-establish the love and faith in the child

Is mom really yelling or just using a stern tone? Its not uncommon for women to be perceived a shouting just because they're not speaking in a sugary sweet and gentle tone. Its because people still have the image of the old school tv moms etched in their brain. If you're a parent you already know that reality don't work that way. Besides those old school tv kids were easier to deal with.
On numerous occasions I've heard kids saying "Mama why are you yelling?" when that wasn't actually the case.
Any who..maybe the girl needs to be reminded that shes not perfect either, that she probably yells too while shes kicking and throwing a fit because she couldn't get her way, but her mom still loves her regardless

Perhaps she doesn't know the right words to use. Engage her more to know if it is something very petty. Make her understand the meaning and impact of the word she's using. She'll understand better and if she insists on her feelings, you can talk to her mother about it.

You can speak with the little girl first. Ask why she said it and what her mom did to make her feel that way. Kids often focus on the punishments than the reason why they were punished. They have this logic that if you love me, you'll give me everything I want. I hope this helps.
