I'm very careful with our D12 when it comes to this. Once I asked her what her problem was b/c she was sending out The Vibe. She turns to me and says, "I'm pissed off at you." While I didn't approve of her language, I applaud her ability to get to the point of how she felt at that moment and share it. I see myself as stopping a cycle when I give her the safety to go there.
