So this post is more of a "
mommy help" post than my usual random thoughts...
I absolutely, completely,
irrevocably, adore my little girl... but I have an issue. She cries over
EVERYTHING! And what I want to know is... is it a phase, or are girls just
THIS emotional? She is the sweetest most thoughtful and
caring little girl, but if she gets the slightest bit frustrated, she starts to
cry.
I really am trying to be
empathetic and understanding, but this one is really
hard for me. I almost never cry (pregnancy throws that statement out the window though) so it's hard for me to relate. At first I would
sweetly talk to her and help her work through whatever was upsetting her, and now I'm not mean or heartless about it, but I do try to
explain to her that it's not something we need to cry about, and
remind her that she's good at solving problems and then ask her what she thinks
she should do.
What about
you guys? Anyone have this issue? Anyone have any
insight? By telling her it's nothing to cry about, am I being mean or
negating her feelings? I mean... today Nixon disagreed with her and she about started to
ball... is that normal?
Any moms out there
willing to share their experience or knowledge?
