[quote=Anonymous]Forgive the title; I don’t mean to label my dd a whiner but I’m worried we’re getting there. Dd 5 cries and whines about everything. It’s not something Dh and I are good at understanding. She’s much more empathetic than either of us. But I believe in giving people what they need and so both of us have always given her a lot of empathy. Big hugs, we listen to her and we try to talk through what happened. We’re very present and she has a great life, so in our minds there’s little to be crying about nonstop. We are exceptionally fair between siblings.

Her younger sibling took a toy, the kid at daycare didn’t want to play with her, the dog almost jumped on her. After we’ve comforted dd we give her words to walk her through how she should find someone else to play with and that not everyone is nice. We’re sorry that the kid didn’t want to play with you and that they shouldn’t do that.

Anyways, are we doing this right? Should we be comforting her more or less? So far I feel like we’ve comforted more but she’s getting worse. I want to build resilience! Dd just feels things to a much greater extent than anyone I know.
