[quote=Anonymous]OP, how would you like her to express sadness? Have you practiced those techniques together? Kids don’t actually grow out of this stuff organically, they just find different coping mechanisms. You were hoping she would find the coping mechanism of bottling up her feelings because you value being “brave and strong” over emotional awareness and openness and because it is less work for you if she just suppresses her emotions. That is bad parenting all around. Figure out some healthy strategies to actually express sadness rather than hide it and then work together on those.[/quote]
