[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids that are criers are deeply sensitive. She will need to learn to excuse herself when feeling overwhelmed. Unfortunately, those who wear their hearts on their sleeve will be more vulnerable to negative comments. You can role play with her what to say when someone calls her out so that she is prepared.

OP here and thanks for the recommendations, this is a good perspective. She's definitely a sensitive kid. "Deeply feeling" is how I've seen it described.

Can I ask if you know of any resources for role playing how to handle when an authority figure is critical like the after care provider I mentioned? I think she is actually okay with dealing with peers who are critical, but she's already very sensitive to reprimands from authority figures (super rule following, she almost never gets in trouble) so I think this is the trickier one for her. What should I suggest as a solution in these situations? Ask if she can go use the bathroom so that she can be alone? That's the only thing I came up with.[/quote]
