May 9, 2017 at 18:53 comment added Dad of two Grade-School Girls Upon reflection, while I typically get along very well with kids (including Scarlett's siblings) because of the situation (despite my efforts) I do not behave toward Scarlet as I do with other kids and she senses this and has been somewhat standoffish with me. So I decided to experiment yesterdy at school pick up by asking Scarlett for a hug as I always do with Alex and Alyssa and after a moment of hesitation she leaned in and there was a palpable release of tension. My honest belief is that Scarlett is quite a good child and that I may able to guide friendlier conduct with Alyssa.

Many thanks for your thoughtful response which articulates in an organized manner what we have been attempting to do but in a somewhat more haphazzard inexperience manner. I have already deliberately applied some of your enumerated sugggestions and it the instant result was quite remarkable. Eg When I was driving back from school with the girls yesterday from school Alyssa was in front with Alex and Scarlett in the back playing and I gave Alyssa my phone to play with and to call Scarletts mum to let her know we were dropping her off. Alyssa's face lit up in both instances ...
