My 8-year-old stepdaughter was having this issue the other day at a birthday party where all the other kids were four and under. She was flipping out because they were not behaving and were not listening to her--I had to take her aside and remind her that SHE was not in charge, SHE was not responsible for making them behave, and that they were only annoying her because she was attempting to "play" with them by her rules only. I made her come join the grownups in the kitchen for awhile, so she could realize that the kids weren't going to follow her if she ignored them, and they were only annoying her because she was putting herself in front of them to be annoyed.
