Why Is 9 Year Old Crying When Tries To Wake Up From Sleep?

I have a 9 year old client who cries in the morning when her mother wakes her up. Daughter says she is crying because she is crying. Daughter is doing well in school, has friends, is from a caring family. She is the youngers of 3. She is very intellegent, does well in school, is active, healthy.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. There is an old saying which goes as Crying children do better in academics. This 9 year young child is doing the same. You must inquire for how many days the present behavior is present and what is the frequency. At what time the child is woken? What are the waking methods? Do the parents force? Do the child fear studying immediately after waking up? I am sure there is a missing link. Talk to the parents and child. Child may not be able to provide more information as of now. But once you build rapport with her, she will divulge more. Just use simple counseling methods of reassurances and calming. I don't think behavior modification methods are needed here.

Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome.
Good luck. Take care.
