Emotional Turmoil

When this observation started I thought I knew my niece by the back of my hand. I have been watching her slowly grow, and through this I have seen a change in her emotions. This change is that her emotions seem confused and disorganized. As I look through my field notes I can see a  oddity that has become frequent.

Now the oddity that has appeared is that Kaylee can't control her emotions. Now what I mean by she can't control her emotions is that she let's her emotions control her. She gets emotional really quick, even quicker than a jealous girlfriend. When the observation is going on I see that if she is interrupted she get really mad. Now this also applies to her over abundance of happiness, it emanates from her and she won't even know why she is so happy.

Now another thing that I have noticed is that her emotions are constantly changing. The emotion that she chooses next doesn't exactly match the situation. She will go from being happy to sad even though nothing happened. I have come to the conclusion that I need keep observing and watching her emotional growth, and see if she can control her emotions.

  1. Its interesting seeing someone grow up and develop different emotions. I wish I knew what was going on with Kaylee but I really don't know. It might be a part of growing up...?
