[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter sounds like a spoiled brat. Sorry.[/quote] She really isn't spoiled, she just loves performing and has wrapped a lot of [b]her identity around being a performer.[/b] She's generally a kind, hardworking kid so this personality change is concerning to me! [/quote] Yes, this is why it's so hard -- it's a rupture to her sense of self. (Resilience, of course, comes by not tying one's sense of self to external things -- and certainly not to a single-outcome externality, but it's easy to have that perspective when you're an adult...harder when you're a kid and still developing your sense of self). This thing she's experiencing is how one develops that resilience. It's just hard when you're inside of it. Just acknowledge that it's hard. Be available to talk it through, don't push too hard. She'll get there. [/quote]
