[quote=Anonymous]Does she exhibit empathy in situations that warrant it and don’t involve babies/toddlers? For instance, does she appear to care or be concerned if you or one of her siblings gets hurt? I would be less worried about what she says, not liking babies or taking climate change rhetoric too literally than I would if she actually exhibited a lack of empathy to her immediate loved ones. No, I wouldn’t jump from lacking empathy to sociopath, but if she actually doesn’t exhibit empathy in even the situations where empathy is most instinctual (e.g., pre-verbal toddlers will attempt to cuddle with crying parents), then I would genuinely be concerned something more was going on and get her evaluated. Don’t freak out about what she says (especially coming from a tween girl), but do worry if her actions indicate that’s her actual approach. Also, shut down the talk in front of her siblings.[/quote]
