    3.5 y/o daughter said she doesn't like herself

    Unprompted to her mother. She said she doesn't like herself because she (as in my daughter) cries a lot. It hit me pretty hard when I heard that. I know kids say all sorts of things and can forget some of them quickly. But some things they don't. I've read some horror stories on here even if...
