[quote=Anonymous]How do you deal with a super anxious and sensitive child?  My DD is 4 and she has become super anxious and sensitive about everything.  Any time something doesn't go her way she will immediately start crying and whining. I know all kids cry and whine but this is over the top and beyond what I think is normal for a 4 year old.  It is grating on my nerves and I am not sure how to respond to her.  Her anxiety has manifested in her picking her nails and cuticles.  It is like she doesn't have good coping mechanisms for her emotions and just will resort to crying, whining and throwing her toys when she doesn't get her way.

We have tried talking to her about her emotions and how to handle them and she says she understands but then when she gets into the situation she immediately forgets and resorts to whining and crying.

She used to be a super happy kid but it seems like in the past 2 years she has gotten worse and worse.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
