[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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] Ouch! Put yourself into your little daughter's place and reread your word, two or three times. She must feel like she's walking on eggshells around you. If she does have anxiety issues, you're making them way worse. I think if anything you should be supporting her and helping her to work on her confidence. She starts crying because you haven't offered her milk yet? Then say, "Oh, honey, of course I'll you get you milk next. And it's always OK to ask for something you'd like."[/quote]
