Lighted Caboose

Why does my six-year-old become so angry if someone “takes her spot” in line?
I know she’s young and believe me, I want her to stand up for herself. BUT I have a problem with the fact that everyday she gets sent to the corner or loses recess because she gets into a pushing war with another student because, “S/he tried to bust in front of me”. (translation: I was standing in one spot in the line and someone tried to get in front of me).
It’s not because she wants to be near her friends because even if a pal does it, she gets HIGHLY upset.
She also becomes very angry if she’s “the caboose” of the line (that means she gets to turn off the light and close the classroom door) and someone gets behind her.
PS: I’ve tried telling her that everyone is going to the same place (ie: the lunchroom, the bathroom, P.E., etc) but she still gets very possessive over her spot in line.
The teacher has spoken to her on numerous occasions and it doesn’t work.
I have a 6 year old too. I think at that age it feels like a kind of personal insult or “attack” to the kid being cut in on. These kids need to be taught that cutting lines is rude and unacceptable behavior which needs to be monitored and watched by the teacher. It is not OK to blame the one being cut in on for being upset about it. Kids who constantly cut grow up to be the teenagers and adults who find it OK to cut in on lines of people who have been waiting for whatever. It is an antisocial behavior. Maybe your daughter feels that the teacher doesn’t find it important so she tries to handle it on her own. Don’t blame the victim.
