[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 613137, member: 15810"] It could be that she remembers her father saying that she will never succeed, unlike easy child, and she hears you saying that easy child made the honor roll ands it reminds her of what her father said. She could be feeling guilty because she knows she a smart kid, but her anxiety and her ulcers get in her way of achieving the success that easy child does. I'm going to say something and I'm going to shout. Ready? YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!!! You mentioned an achievement that easy child earned and, while I agree that you should not brag or carry on about it, you should let him know that you're proud of him. There are going to be times in difficult child's life when people around her are praised for one thing or another and she has to learn how to deal with that. Or is this because she's not the center of attention? That just occurred to me. If you're praising and thinking about easy child, your not thinking about her. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
