[quote=Anonymous]I agree that it sounds like her temperament is a bit melancholy and negative. Sounds like you are a very good mom. My two comments: 1. Do not allow her to criticize you or mock you in any way, ever. Not in front of her friends or otherwise. She should know that that is not acceptable behavior before you get into the teenage years. Make sure your husband backs you up on this. 2. She probably has some insecurity and self-doubt. Be sure you give her a lot of affection and love. Try to make sure you have some time one-on-one with her. Tell her often how much you love her and how special she is.[/quote]
