What do you do/think??

pobb

Hi there

Just wanted to put this out there and want to have more insight.

How do people deal with hurtful things?

Such as "I hate you" "I don't love you"

I find this really hard to hear and try so hard to not react but when it feel like it's a constantly daily issue it grinds you down. Is this more about my own self-esstem issues rather than what my daughters trying to communicate.

Also have people experienced bad reactions to certain words?

Off the top of my head she reacts badly to "come on" "hurry up" "huh" and "pardon"

Cheers

  • Hi 

    Thanks for your comments.

    She is only 5 and has only really begun to communicate in the last 14 months or so.

    When I'm thinking rationally I come up with the same reasons you describe ie. she is not able to understand the feeling behind the statement etc. I do try to ignore it, I guess I feel pressured to react when she displays this in front of other members of the family or even worse public.

    I'm finding it very difficult without a dignosis as I swing between believing there is something "wrong" and thinking it's my parenting and she is misbehaving.

    Sorry if this seems like a moan, rant. But this in it's self is theraputic.

    Thanks
