6 Year old daughter depends, way too much, on 7 year old son…What to do?

  • Posted on January 5, 2010 at 8:32 am

Iv’e noticed lately that my daughter is very dependent on her older brother (1 year older). She asks him to do everything for her, from getting her something to drink, to playing outside with her. I have tried to raise both my children to be independant and he is very but she is not. Is this normal at this age for a girl? I tell her to try and do things on her own and she replies with “I can’t” or “it’s too hard!” The both of them go to the same grade, ride the same bus but are in defferent classes. I just worry that she might be asking too much from my son sometimes and these are things she needs to learn how to do on her own. Any and all suggestions welcome and thank you in advance!
