[quote=Anonymous]I think you are expecting a lot of emotional maturity from a very young kid. I'd focus on her having reasonable reactions to disappointing news, not wishing she'd enjoy being selfless. Basically the "you don't have to like it, you just have to do it" line. Also, imo generosity is easier for eldest/only children because they start out very secure in their needs bring met. Younger siblings are born into in a competition for time/attention/stuff. You could look seriously at whether there are unmet emotional needs contributing to her poor behavior, before you start with the consequences. [/quote]
