I am not saying don’t reassure her but I am saying after reassuring her try to discuss this with her and explain that everybody goes through what she is experiencing and everybody has to recognise that we have to learn how to manage this. He is also adamant that positive encouragement and praise trump punishment, especially when it comes to challenging behaviours.
