[quote=Anonymous]OP, check out this list of thinking skills from the www.thinkkids.org website:

There are skills in certain areas that are lagging in some children, even though they aern't diagnosed with any official learning disability.  Their lagging skills make it difficult for them to deal in an age appropriate way with setbacks and frustration.  The areas include:

-executive function  (handling transitions, maintaining focus on goals, sense of time, considering the consequences of actions)
-language processessing (expressing concerns, identifying what the problem is)
-emotionoal regulation (being able to think rationally despite being upset, managing irritability)
- cognitive flexibility (seeing the gray not just black and white, handling unpredictability, shifting from original plan to new plan because of circumstances)
- social skills (appreciating how your behavior comes across to others, empathizing with others)

If your daughter's emotionally immaturity seems to stem from several of these areas, you might with to take a look at the reast of the thinkkids.org website to see if they have some ideas that might help!
