This site is great! As a newbie to the site I am so excited to get some advice on helping my little girls. Of course my natural instinct is to bend down to calm them and I would of never thought that it was encouraging their behavior. I will try that next time although I am sure it will be hard. I will have to train myself as well!! I am going to start slow in exposing them again to kids - nice calm ones! It will take some time but I am happy that everyone seems to think with effort Rylee will not be so scared. It actually breaks my heart when she cowers - and when Lexie starts to mimic her.
Thanks again for all of the great advice!! |
