 Re: How to help sensitive and insecure children | |
I don't have much advise either since I have a baby still, but... my sister has a very overly sensitive boy as well. He is 6 almost 7 and will cry if you look at him wrong. He is shy but warms up once he gets to know a person. He has lots of friends but tends to get pushed around at times. Doing things he doesn't really want to do just because the other kids want to kind of thing. One thing that really helped him is Karate. He has been in it for about a year now and LOVES it! It gives him so much more confidence then he used to have. He still gets pushed around easliy but a huge difference none the less. You may want to try something like that.
For your daughter I would not completely blame it on hormones, not that its probably not that, but she could be going through a slight depression, (yes I know thats due to hormones just don't want it blamed on them) Be grateful that she comes to you still and I agree with pp talked to her doc. Or maybe some herbal tea would do the trick. I don't know |
