This all sounds a bit silly probably, but my 6yr old DD has been very upset tonight while talking about her school day, she says she feels ugly and chubby (she has a healthy bmi but not skinny). She then compared herself to a girl in her class who is very in her words beautiful and has long blonde hair and blue eyes. She admitted feeling jealous of her and got really upset that this girl has lots of friends and that she thinks she’s her teachers favourite. I told my daughter it wasn’t nice to be jealous and that she is beautiful and that everyone is different, but there was no talking to her she was inconsolable. I’m not really sure how to address these feeling of jealousy, I noticed it in her when it was her brother’s birthday she got jealous of him getting more attention as she saw it, which was told her off for as we thought she was behaving like spoiled little girl. I’ve told her tomorrow we’ll practise some new hair styles I’m not the best at braids, to try and make her feel better about herself, obviously I’m biased but I think she beautiful and don’t understand where these feelings are coming from or how to handle them apart from trying to reassure her. Any advice on how to handle a jealous 6 year old?
