[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a good friend of yours said they were not good at piano your first thought wouldn’t be “what consequences can I give my friend?” It would be huh, what’s going on and how can I help. Use this mindset with your own child. [/quote]
[b]If you paid a nice compliment to a friend of yours and they snapped back at you I think you would be wondering what their problem is. [/b]It’s not the content, it’s the tone. “I don’t think I am very good” said in a kind tone would be handled accordingly. [/quote]

That was my point - it is a cry for help and I’d be wondering what was up. I wouldn’t think it was rude and needing “punishment”[/quote]

DP.  You are ignoring the impact the recipient of this lashing out.  Just because someone may need help doesn't mean they can dump/crush someone else. [/quote]

Op you're obsessed with your you ver daughters feeling and don't really care about the older one's. Why is that?

This is a tag team situation not a punishment situation.

It's also a learning opportunity for both of them.

Separate them . Individually acknowledged feelings

Your oldest.ight be feeling stressed and annoyed

The youngest sad

Give them both tools for how to approach the situation better next time.

Yes your oldest needs to learn it to snap.

But your youngest needs to learn to give space and that not everyone will want to hear her thoughts on everything all the time.
