[quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old created a song with her keyboard, the lyrics were very close to " Mommy doesn't like me, Daddy doesn't like me, Little Sister Cries, Mommy picks her up, Mommy doesn't like me" . After she finished, she turned and asked if I liked her song. Needless to say, my heart was broken. To give a little history, she is 3, our youngest daughter is 9 months. In the past 4 months, our 3 years old has been extremely whiny and she cries for everything. We give her lots of attention and she demands a lot of attention. If I had to guess, she gets our attention probably 60% of the time and the baby 40%. We have been trying to teach her that she shouldn't cry for everything, so I've tried to stop reinforcing the crying tantrums. (Which means I don't pick her up and sometimes ignore her) I had a conversation with her explaining that her dad and I not only like her, but love her however I had to ask if I am doing something wrong? Has anyone else had a child say something similar? How did you handle it? Any other creative ways to make her feel special? Does she really feel this way or was it a fleeting thought? Please help. Thanks.[/quote]
