DD1 is 6, to people who see her on the outside she appears quite confident. She regularly has her hand up in class, shares her ideas/ thoughts. But she often gets down on herself if she's not good at something. For example:
Her handwritting was one thing to work on, she takes it in a very negative way.
At school they had to vote for each others work, hers got 0 votes, she spent the evening crying
Today she was in a gymnastics comp, everyone gets a medal either gold/ silver or bronze, she got a bronze and spent alot time crying about that
Athletics day at school, she had 4 ribbons but others had more so she decided she wasn't any good.
If she does something that I ask her not to do again she gets so upset about doing the wrong thing, even tho she's not in trouble I'm just explaining to her why we dont do it (dangerous, rude etc) she takes it the wrong way.
She hates admitting to doing anything wrong or hates people pointing out something that isn't right.
Then she says things about being a horrible person, she doesnt like herself etc.
I really am unsure how to deal with it, sometimes I do find myself getting frustrated which I know is not going to help but it does drive me nuts sometimes.
