Does anyone know what exactly triggers this? My toddler gets this moodlet almost constantly...mostly during friendly conversation, but sometimes even when she is idle it pops up unwarranted. She apparently feels that way towards her mother, who pretty much never said anything unfriendly to begin with. She's perpetually sad because of it now, regardless of what mom says or does to make things better. :|

I see that the toddler is independent. Maybe the mother is always helping her?

Oh, I had a child like that in RL. It was so bad, I warned his Kindergarten teacher that he would likely get belligerent, if she swooped in to help him out too soon. I suggested she ask him if he would like help. He was always good about accepting help if I let him try to work it out on his own, first. I would ask before he got frustrated, just to be sure.

I have a hunch that could very well be it. Not certain how to undo such 'damage' though. Yikes. I haven't yet seen that one.
