[quote=Anonymous]I am sure that your general patent g was the same. Kids are wildly different from each other. Your daughter aPpears to be struggling with being self-involved, worrying about status symbols, cranky. This doesn’t sound like a happy kid. I would urge you to consider a few sessions with a therapist for you as parenting coaching on how to bring out the best in her. I would also send her to an outdoor camp program this summer, where nobody cares about Stanley cups. She needs some role models of counselors with other priorities.

You also need to sit with her when she’s calm and revisit a recent scenario and explain how she appeared to others, while emphasizing that you don’t think that’s what she wants. She doesn’t realize how she is coming across. She entangled in her own feelings right now.

Absolutely monitor what she watches on any screens. Try to plan an activity for you and her to do together to put add to her emotional bank. Always thank her for appropriate and kind behavior.[/quote]
