My girl 3years plus now. Recently her childcare teacher said if she raise her voice at her for doing something not so right, my girl will cry either silently at a corner or backface her and cry.. this breaks my heart.. at home she also cry easily if we never give in to her or raise our voice.. is this normal? What can we do?

it's quite normal. My daughter is a sensitive child too. Do talk to her more often and try to understand her feelings more. When you see her crying, ask her why she's upset and what you can do to make her feel good again. Also, avoid usual severe methods of punishment like spanking and yelling. Hugging and showing affection will make her feel loved and secure. Teach your child not to be afraid. Fact is,we cannot expect the whole world to be sensitive to our kid's feelings. Your daughter will slowly learn to deal with these situations....they will help make her stronger.

I think it is normal. My niece used to be like this. It isn just that kids just keep trying to get used to different kind of behaviours . It just takes time for them. I would suggest just sit with your girl, talk about funny things , make her laugh and then talk to her about this and also tell her that sometimes people get angry if we do something wrong but be strong, don't cry and it is all gonna be fine :) Just tell her that it is okay to make mistakes to learn and become a better person :)

I think she is a sensitive girl. I am actually like her when I was young. I cry easily too. Try to let her understand you know how she is feeling and don't get frustrated when she is crying.. Give her some time to calm herself down. You might want to check out this link: https://www.verywellfamily.com/parenting-a-sensitive-child-8-discipline-strategies-1094942

don't worry about it. I had this experience with my child too. Just depends on parents how to take care and communication with child. Went to KK Children specialist also nothing much help... The situation will be going alright then if more communication and spend more time to teach her. The kids nowadays are clever than last time.

yes, it takes them for them to understand why someone is speaking in a louder voice Perhaps when she is in a better mood, you can explain to her why teacher is saying certain things in a louder way, and what she could do next time? Do some role play with her, make it fun, and take the chance to explain the situations to her.

Have you tried to talk to your Daughter and ask her why she cries? My Daughter is 3 and I ask her when she cries why she cried and she’s able to articulate herself quite well.

Yes. Got once she said she cried and i asked her why? She said she want teacher to feed her.. yesterday ask her again, she said she no cry. I think most probably she cry when someone raise her voice or reject her.. :(
