[quote=Anonymous]DD is prettier and more popular than I was. We are both introverted but not shy, and she's less introverted than I am. She is not at all a people pleaser like I was, and I am thankful for it, although it makes parenting her harder. I struggle with the amount of attention she gets, and worry that the popularity will be a negative overall, although I don't necessarily let her know this. I am probably quite strict, definitely stricter than her friends' parents for the most part, and it definitely has to do with my worries. The biggest difference between us is that she is quite emotional, whereas I am fairly rational, and always have been. My instinct of trying to use logic as an approach to problem solving really does not work with her, and I am impatient with just letting her work through her emotions to get to the same point at a much later time.[/quote]
