9yo feeling worried/sad - what's normal?

A week or so ago, my 9yo DD couldn't sleep as she said she felt sad and didn't know why. We had a bit of a chat about it, couldn't pinpoint anything so i told her that sometimes we all feel a bit like that and hopefully she'll feel better in the morning.

Fast forward to last night and she said she was feeling worried without knowing why. She also said it was making her feel hot and sure enough she felt boiling.

I'm not overly worried but I would like some reassurance that this is normal, and also any tips on the best way to talk to her about it and help her when/if it happens again.

In all other ways she seems perfectly happy - a bit emotional and dramatic at times but then she is a 9 year old girl!

Thanks in advance.

Could it maybe be the start of hormones? X

My 10yo has been like this for a couple of years and it’s definitely hormones. Fun.
