Daughter worried about growing up?

It's one of different weird phases kids at that age get through. Now I can't explain particulars, I'm not a psychologist, but it seems every kid around the age of 4 has one.

I was personally scared of growing old someday ;p my cousin would be very sensitive, cry and get upset over everything..other kids are overly protective of their toys..Anyway, I'm just making a point, they all strangely have these developments at 4-ish..

I'd recommend either reverse psychology. Like reassure her that she doesn't need to grow up - bare with me -but then she'd be giving up all the awesome things that come with growing up..You know her best...like being able to ride a big bike..something like that.

Or, just let her watch Peter Pan, the movie, starring Robbin Williams, or one of the many cartoons, and see what she takes away from that. I'm sure you're familiar with the plot, but if you're not, it's about some kids in Neverland, never wanting to grow up, but then mature as kids..you get the idea.

Hope one of the two solutions..or both help.

Now do no longer bypass getting ME all weepy! My oldest purely became 10. i won't manage to have faith this is been a decade considering the fact that I first became a mom. Double digits any further for her. She is unquestionably closer to being an grownup than a baby now. I undergo in ideas very needless to say whilst she become 5 and being moved to tears purely thinking of her getting on a school bus and being taken to college.whilst she got here off that bus the 1st day, waving in spite of it become she made that day, her eyes so incredible and her face lit up, asserting "mom, wager what we did in the present day! It become so exciting!" I on the instant had a dose of wow, how am i able to no longer enable her bypass? seem at how proud she is of herself and how plenty fulfillment she is getting. So, my suggestion to you is to foster your dating together with her. possibly you will no longer get all the cuddles and there'll certainly be stages of no longer keen to be with you. yet once you artwork on the dating, then you definitely could have all the emotional 'cuddles' by using her keen to talk to you whilst that first date comes alongside or her first overwhelm, and so on. you may lose some actual closeness yet artwork on the emotional closeness so which you have her for existence. And for the record, my 10 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous nevertheless likes it when I come and take a seat on her mattress together with her suited earlier mattress and we communicate. and that i nevertheless get a kiss on the bustop and she or he nevertheless likes to bypass grocery figuring out to purchase with me. I get excitement from each 2d.

Reassure her that she's not going to grow up for a long time.

But try to find out where she's getting this message from.

If she really wakes up everyday worried about growing up and she is 4 years old.. I honestly think you need to speak with a phycologist or a therapist. Only thing I can think of is try doing "big girl" things.. idk.

I would ignore it, and just try to get on with life.

Just like bad behaviour, sometimes it is best

to just ignore these things, and wait and see

how things play out. The more attention you

give this sort of talk, the more important

it becomes to her.
