[quote=Anonymous]Like one of the pp's I was like that as a kid, but I didn't really grow out of it. I really struggle with criticism and tend to take it very personally. I know better, and I can control my reactions, but internally I take any criticism very very hard. I think part of this is just how I'm wired, but part was that I was definetly rewarded for being smart and getting things right, not necessarily based on how hard I tried or how much I improved. I see this personality trait in one of my three kids, and I try hard to compliment hard work more than getting things right, but I'm not sure if there is something else I should be doing to help her not end up an emotional mess around criticism like her mom.
