How do I deal with my
8 year old girl, who cries at the least little thing and always seems irritable or unhappy? She is the middle child between an 11 yo girl and 7 yo girl.
I have tried point systems, ignoring the behaviors, praising for handling situations without crying, extra attention, channeling into creative and physical activities (art, dance, singing, piano, sports), etc etc.
She cries at least 5 times a day- usually more like ten.
