My 8 yr old daughter has suddenly become super sensitive. She has always been a little sensitive, but not to the extreme she is now. She cries at anything and is even frightened of the songs (some sad themes) they are practising in the school play. I too was sensitive and neurotic as a child and want to support her through this. I'd like her to be less sensitive and I'm trying to explain things factually (she's currently fixated with reincarnation and death). I became a morbid teenager, and I don't want her to be the same (If I can have any influence that is). Any ideas why she is acting 'hormonal' (there is no sign of early period)? What can I do to help her?
