Over sensitivitytearfullness in 6 year old dd

[BiancaCastafiore]

My dd has been having a rough time recently.
She had some issues at school over being picked on by some boys and having her pencil case taken these things have been dealt with well by the school.
However, since all these worries came out she's become very easily tearful and extremely sensitive - often even a gentle tease will result in her sobbing and complaining of her hurt feelings
She can never see that she does well in anything, she always focuses on what's gone wrong ie- spellings at school she often gets 8/10 - she can't see that she got 8 correct only that she got 2 wrong and this same attitude applies in many aspects of her day to day life

She has good periods during the day but often cries once she goes to bed about how awful her day has been (even when we seem to have had a good day!)

What can I do to boost her up again? Is this a "normal" phase?

My 7 year old dd is also extremely over sensitive and a big worrier. i guess you have to ride it out a little, as things have improved slowly but surely with my dd. i reccomend no pressure over homework, lots of talks in bed about the best things that have happened during the day,and give her something to look forward to and be excited about at the weekends. however, i have had to accept some degree of sadness and upset. although your instinct is to want to make it all better, the fact is that you cant always, and just listening to her fears and allowing her to feel upset may make her feel better.

Thanks
We do all these things already so I guess we just have to keep it up.
It's heartbreaking when she's so sad.
