Why is my 7 Year old so mean and manipulative?
My seven year old, beautiful and wonderful daughter is so mean. I do not know why. She is not mean to me or her Daddy, but she is extremely manipulative towards her little sister and brother. She will con them out of all their toys, drink their juice and then lie about it, and do things like this all the time. She does not care when one of them gets hurt, and she loves to tease her brother. I am at a total loss. My son and baby girl are both so sweet and caring, yet my oldest does not show any real love or care for anything. I have tried everything short of counseling. When I tell her I think she should talk to the school counselor she cries and says no. I am worried. I do not see any "caring" emotions in her and I do not want to lose her as she gets older. She lies and manipulates all the time.
