My 8 yr old DD is a lovely little girl but has some issues that I would appreciate mumsnetters help with!
- Seems to have a very low self esteem
- Has no friends at school
- Is unhappy a lot and very negative. (her best and only friend left to go to another school 6 months ago and she is suffering because of it)
- Now answers back and shouts alot, storms about
I worry she does get sidelined by me perhaps because she has always been so good (my 4 yr old DD, is the opposite)but her lack of friends and she can't say anything good about herself is a worry. How can I boost her self esteem and get her to have the confidence to deal with things generally?
Could shouting alot won;t help, but she says the problem is he friend leaving.
any help appreciated!
