She is not spoiled. My daughter is the same way. Yes, I have given her alot more attention than most people give their kids, but I almost miscarried her, so she is my miracle baby! Usually what causes them to be so grouchy and cranky all the time is due to boredom.
My daughter is above average in intelligence and when she gets bored, that is when I see an increase in her crankiness. So I try to change things up and do something new, whether its go for a walk, do an art project, play a new game, etc.
Try that...you should see an improvement. Good luck!

Have you spoken with a mental health care professional?
I have a daughter that will be 18 soon and she has been like that most of her life. She says very hurtful things and doesn't even realize they're hurtful. When I call her on it, she gets very defensive and thinks I'm picking on her.
Also, I recently re-married and my oldest step-son also shows the same characteristics. He has been diagnosed with many different things but the two that always seem to be unanimous are pre A.D.D. and Autism. Also Bi-polar Disorder.
My daughter was also pre diagnose with Bi-Polar Disorder.
If nothing else, it may help to put your mind at ease. At the worst, you'll know what is actually going on with your daughter and learn the best way to work with her on this.
Good luck to you!

My best guess is she's still crying like this because it is working for her. Children are very perceptive and they pick up on your weaknesses. If she cries for 15 minutes and then finds out she will get what she wants then her crying has been successful. The next time maybe she had to cry for 30 minutes, but if she still got her way, she still sees crying as the solution to getting what she wants.

She is spoiled. Gradually you should not give her everything she wants or desires. She will have her little fits. She has learned that if she does not get what she wants , she cries. Let her cry. It will not hurt her to cry.This will take some time, but she will learn you cannot have everything you want.
The tough part is yours...you will be the one feeling guilt. Don't. Be strong...there is light at the end of this tunnel.

I don't know how many kids u have but i have 4 and i find my 3rd one gives me crying fits.
You need to make sure you show her lots of love and have lots of patience for her.
i take my child out ( just her ) and buy lunch and get our hair cut.Things to make her feel special.
I can tell when she is not happy and going top cry.
sometimes i loose my patience, but i make a conscience effort to talk about her day and how shes feeling.
My daughter is 12.
I hope this helps.

there are babies who cry all the time when they are young...
but they grow out of it then she came to the stage of the terrible twos
when she is in a preschool or kindergarten she will grow out of it..
If she starts to cry for no reason I would make a rule that you will count to 5 and if she doesn´t stop you will take something away for a day..
take time out during your day one hour and spend time with her.
go to a park where other children are... be there but not on her..
don´t be over protective...

When she cries put her in a separate room and do not take notice of her and sooner she relaises that no one is noticing her she will become your child.
If may be harder at the beginning and will work
Do not do this if you are in a flat as cryng may annoy the rest

"stage fear"??? What are you doing to the kid, making her do things like beauty contests?? Let her be a little girl, for gods sake. It's much easier to raise a child the way that they are "bent" (what her interests are) than to try to bend them another way ( YOUR interests). Give the kid a break will you?

If you are in America, tell her that here is the land of the free and discipline. Every citizen, including her, can be sent to war in Iraq. They all love cranky American there.

Wait till she turns 18 and send her butt to college!
Other than that, stop spoiling her! Do you give in every time she starts crying?
Call Dr. Phil~ he does shows on kids like that.
