Performance Appraisal
I have to avoid mirrors at all costs whenever Kyra is mad or upset. Having a mirror around only prolongs the process indefinitely, as every time she'll start to calm down, she looks in the mirror, sees how she looks, then watches herself start to wail again. And you can tell by watching and listening that it's not a genuine thing...she's doing it purely for her own benefit. You can look at her eyes and see that she's concentrating on her facial expression and tone as she dramatizes her angst. I thought that didn't hit until she was a teenager! Soap opera city...ugh.

I think I see a way out of this. Next time she starts throwing a major fit, just tell her that something about her face isn't quite right and she needs to go find a mirror and work on it for next time. That should distract her enough that she'll forget all about what upset her.
