[quote=Anonymous]She’s 7. She blurted something out. Things are upside down now and kids are anxious and acting out more. I’d be forgiving. I’m confused about why she knew her gift was in a box you opened. Did you blurt out that it was in there, or did you tell her and not let her open it? Maybe she was acting out because she wasn’t happy about not opening her own present. I get that I’m totally reading this through my own lens and projecting my BPD mom’s attitude onto you, but the idea of taking a gift away because you don’t like her behavior is something my mom would’ve done. Especially since she wound up liking it. Help her work on impulse control and give her ideas of better things to say if she doesn’t like a gift. And don’t be so easily hurt by what a child says when they clearly haven’t thought things through. Is she generally impulsive, or does she only have self control issues with blurting out? [/quote]
