Jessica is acutely aware of emotions and has a very hard time transitioning herself or separating her emotions from the other people around her. She gets so wound up on the days when she has dance class or school - when she gets home she is running and screaming and pushing and is very wound up. She loves school, so I hate to take her out (it is only 2 hours per week) but I am having a hard time helping her let out the emotions from her time there. She will cry even hours later and tell the story of the boy in class who was put in time out.
When my dh and I argue in front of her, she sides with the losing person - every time. And the losing person is not the one who is crying sometimes - but she is able to tell who will lose more ground in the situation and she will go to which ever one and hug them.
At night, we have to go over the daywith a fine tooth comb, letting her ramble on about the bad stuff and encouraging her to replace it with the good - or we will never get any sleep.
