[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about helping her to lean into the alone time and managing it. My guess is that you’ve trained her to express discomfort the moment she’s not the center of attention. It’s time to deconstruct the Frankenstein. Let her be bored in her room. She’ll figure it out. But she has to be given the space to work through it. You cannot rescue her from this. [/quote] Part of the reason she hasn't learned is that her siblings rescue her unless I shut her in her room alone and give the siblings direct orders to ignore her whining. And because she's used to them rescuing her, it ends up being like intermittent variable reward even if I do put my foot down. So yeah, you're right that this is a HUGE part of the problem.[/quote]
