Flight or fight
My big girl seems to be so stressful with whatever thing, i suspect its the concert. Today is the rehearsal for the concert and she cry when going to school. She has not been eating well for the past one week. She skip almost all her dinners. I know the feeling of being scare of standing infront of everyone. I used to be this kind of kid when i was young, but how young or when did situation gets better, i dont remember. But i dont think i have a choice, when it comes to flight or fight, i am always left to fight. But nowadays, kids seems to choose flight very naturally. Regardless of how frightened i was last time, i think i am always stuck with fight, maybe if i had a choice, i would choose flight as well. How should i make her be more resilient?i reassure her so many times that it doesnt matter if she did well or not. As long as she do her best its gd enough. I am not those kind of kiasu parents. Most important is try, even if try and failed, also nevermind.

Tell her you will giveher an Ice cream for being brave. Read stories about bravery.
Thanks. Its so difficult to understand their thinking. But i know roughly what she is stress about. Actually its not about performing at the concert, she actually wanted to perform. Its about not being able to put on make up and dun look pretty. Last year she had ecezma outbreak just before concert, so we din allow her to put make up on. And she try not to eat, so that she will not eat he wrong food and trigger the ecezma.
