[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with this being about her empathizing with others, the examples given are entirely about her.

How do you discipline her OP?

I she the older sister or the younger sister compared to her brother?

When she gets teary how do you respond?[/quote]

I don't discipline her. She doesn't ever give me a reason to. I'm not saying she's perfect, she may forget to bring her coat home or she may whine but I don't discipline her for those things. She has not given me a reason to have to discipline her or take away things she enjoys. This crying thing is our issue with her and I don't discipline her for it. Although I will admit I don't handle it well and could use some improvement. But please believe my son's antics more than make up for my 7 yr old's good behavior. He's a handful times two and gets disciplined every 2 mins. My 7 yr old is the oldest. Her brother is 5. Her brother gets time-outs and sometimes a hand swat. When she gets teary I don't respond well, I hate to admit. I tell her to stop crying (may even yell) and say "you only cry when you are physically hurt or your feelings are badly hurt. Stop crying over silly stuff you are 7 years old, you're not a baby!" :? [/quote]
