DD is 10, 11 next week. She moans about everything. Says she hates the world she lives in (this was because I told her she is not yet old enough to walk about town for as long as she wants due to traffic hazards and strange people), she moans about how she's so crap at certain subjects. I try to encourage her to look at positive things in life, be grateful for our health, our roof over our heads, the relative safe environment of our country, the loving family we have. I tell her while she may not be a maths genius she tries hard and keeps up all the same and she excels elsewhere and has a flair and talent for other subjects. Even after all my pepping she mopes and says how bad everything is, what can I do to brighten her up? I think about all the suffering children in the world and just want my DD to understand the fortune that she has been given, I worry how self centred she is becoming.
