Sensitive or Attention Seeking

[danibo]

Looking for a bit of advice here, my 8 year old daughter is generally very outgoing, chatty, loving and well behaved but occasionally worries me as she is a bit over sensitive. For example she had a crying fit tonight because she said she didn't deserve me for all the bad things she has done. I don't know if it was because she wanted company (when she should have been going to sleep) or if it was because of something I said, but my mum has been a lifelong, chronic worrier which has rubbed off on me a bit but which I have been careful not to project onto my kids so I don't want to dismiss it too much but equally don't want to make a big deal out of it either. Anyone else have these outbursts??

we've been having these type of outbursts since dd was about 7. She's almost 10 now and I'm sure it's hormone related.

For her, it's not so much 'oh woe is me', it's moer anger towards me and DH and her db.

For your dd though, do you think she is okay at school? Perhaps there is a problem with another student or she is worried that she doesn't have many friends etc. It can all come out as crying/strops/upset/low self esteem.

I'd just chat to her about it and tell her you can help her feel better if she tells you what's wrong.
