[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sounds like a classic case of a kid who was never allowed to fail. The fear of failure becomes the boogeyman of any kid who was never allowed to fail. Tell her it's okay to fail, it teaches you good life lessons. If it happens, then you pick yourself up and dust yourself off. The most successful people in life are very comforting with failure, rejection, and abandonment by others. They had to fail and face rejection many times before finally succeeding. But they never stopped trying. Focus on the trying, not the outcome. Instead of telling your kid you're proud of them for winning tell them you're proud of them for trying. And yes, you might fail. But life is about trying.[/quote] Meh, yes, this may be part of this. But no. This kid has issues beyond this. This sounds like a mental illness that she was probably genetically predisposed to and is not the fault of parenting. Get her into therapy, op. Now.[/quote]
