[QUOTE="Fran, post: 186326, member: 3"] It's scary when you wonder if the 6yr old is going the difficult child route or if she is being 6yrs old. I was no way a difficult child but I recall being jealous of my baby sister and her attention. Consequently, I tended to ignore her or not share. We didn't have a lot but I know I didn't want to share anything with her including my friends. I was probably not a very easy child. I know I wasn't a warm fuzzy kind of kid. It wasn't until 13 or so that I got empathy and understanding. I wasn't an easy teen either. Mouthy, fiercely,independent but I was a good kid. Personality development, conscience and kindness were all traits that I developed over time and by choice. Some of this is basic personality and some of this was environmental. I'm still a little "thorny" and didn't really grow affection for this particular sister until my 40s but I think I earned easy child status. If you don't see what you would like in a 6yr old doesn't mean she won't be that way with time. [/QUOTE]
