she crys over anything and everything and sometimes just out of the blue and when she starts she goes on for half an hour or more , and we're courently trying to potty train her and she justs stands right next to the toilet and pee's ontop of that she is really unsocial when we're at birthday parties her younger and older sister (she's the middle child) go play while she just stands behind my sister and I with a sad face.

I know its wrong to think something like this but, WHATS WRONG WITH HER?!

  1. It could be several things. First she could be very insecure and need extra pushes from adults and more prompting to do as she's told because she just isn't sure. She also may be just digging for extra attention which is fairly common. The easiest way to break the addiction to constant attention is to avoid her like the plague when she is being whinny or clingy and give one warning to stop crying if she doesn't within about 1 min remove her from the group and tell her she may rejoin you when she is done crying, then stick to your guns and ignore her. When she is doing well and playing with others and using the potty properly make sure give her lots of attention and positive praise. She also may have a cognitive delay that cause her anti social behavior something


  2. first she needs to get away from her parents if they treat her or any of there children like that secondly it could be she feels lonely or she could just being going thru fearsome 4's things scare them at that stage not all kids go thru it at age 4. As for the toilet issue i dont know.

  3. When you say she cries over anything and everything it makes me think she is spoiled.  But when you said she will just cry out of the blue it worries me.

    What does her mom do when she cries?   Does she try to find out why she's crying?  Does she console her?  If she's spoiled she needs discipline.  If there is something else wrong then you need to get to the bottom of it.

    You said she's the middle child.  Many times the middle child gets neglected.  

    Potty training is difficult especially when the tot doesn't understand the concept.   It might be a good idea to stop for a week then try again.  There are little books that you can read to her to help her understand better.  When she understands it, it will be easy.   It's best not to fight it.  

    She could be very shy.  She could feel an insecurity if her mom has to work a job outside of the home and because of a lack of attention because she's the middle child.  

    Give her extra loving and be patient.  

    I recommend that you pray for her.  Let her hear you pray for her.  Tell her shes a good girl.  Give her praises.  

    Every child is different.  She may just need more time.
