[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I appreciate the advice, but I don't appreciate the personal attacks. Obviously I am trying to improve the situation, and insulting me or insinuating that my 7 year old daughter is the most obnoxious kid in the world isn't helpful.[/quote]

You are being far too reactive. We are offering sound advice because YOU asked for it. Can you objectively read your original post and NOT see how obnoxious that is? She is still young and this can be corrected. Sometimes hearing what you re asking for can be difficult but we are speaking based upon what you laid out.

I don't think anyone said she is the most obnoxious kid in the world, unless I missed that. Did not read over the entire thread.[/quote]

Please consider that I posted this thread because I DO realize it is obnoxious. Read the thread, plenty of posters predicting her doom and discussing how awful she must be.

I'm not presenting her as perfect, and she's seven, and she has a long way to grow in social and emotional maturity.  A little grace would be nice.

OP, seriously, ignore the posters being rude. Your daughter sounds normal. This isn’t a big deal, this is gentle correction to teach her not to brag. It would be the same if she were bragging about how many goals she scored or that she went to Italy over winter vacation. She definitely doesn’t sound more obnoxious than 7 year olds generally.

Don’t ever downplay her intelligence or her abilities, though. She SHOULD be proud of doing well in school—she just doesn’t need to put others down or compare them to herself. Again, that’s a natural thing for kids (humans!) to do, and it’s a minor thing to try to correct. [/quote]
