My eight year old has been through a lot in her little life and I have done everything from counselling, therapy and ‘our own time’ together to help her through these times, which seem
To have helped.
She is excelling in school work and has horse ridding as a hobby, and she enjoys cooking with me etc…
However despite acknowledging my daughters bossy behaviour, lately it has become very present That sharing is not her biggest strength, which irritates me as she steals all her little brothers toys but won’t let him go near any of hers (unless she says so…) she is like this with her friends as well
Which is very embarrassing.
Also days out and activities such as Easter egg hunts, day trips to the zoo, beach, park anywhere becomes a living nightmare, she will cry and storm off and completely ruin the day because she hasn’t got her own way.
My original thought was she was being selfish however I think it’s much deeper rooted then that, as she literally becomes inconsolable and will remove herself from the other children, and to embarrassed to return to the group so my correction of her behaviour then ends up becoming sympathetic because she is too upset and embarrassed to go back to the other kids.
This is effecting our lives daily, she also struggles with hair brushing, water if it goes in her eyes while swimming etc…
I have found secondary procession problems on the internet… any information or advice is more then welcome.
Thank you 😊
