Let her make a lot of harsh comments, even when she doesn't mean to. Often the point is to make your daughter feel as though all of her mistakes are not her fault. When she creates an imperfect product, let her experience the triumph of creation. Don't dive in every time you see her about to spill something or mess up a math problem. She will be less likely to react the same way to you treating her little sister like an adolescent. Remember that she's young; making mistakes are normal. Admit that she has one thing that is hard and then ask to fix it. [substeps] In a year, your daughter will feel happy and walk you through all of the steps of developing her self esteem.
