[quote=Anonymous]I say patience is the key word here OP. What this young girl is going through is very unique and troubling. I cannot even imagine the burden that must be on her shoulders, both physically and emotionally. Try to approach her as her equal, like a peer...an ally, a team player, rather than a competitor or an authority figure. Doing this while still maintaining your authority can be quite tricky, I understand, but it can be accomplished OP. Let her know you are on her side and not at all against her. Perhaps she has a lot of anger about the whole unfairness issue and just needs an outlet to express herself and you are an easy target for her right now. Allow her some time to warm up to you. Perhaps there are many changes going on right now (I.e., Mom's illness returning, the divorce, new nanny, etc.) and she is still adjusting to the new transitions.[/quote]
