Weird behavior

Julia is developing a weird behavior.

Every time she gets upset (not scared, but mad, frustrated, etc) she will find a corner to stand in. She will walk to a corner and cry/whine. She will not leave the corner either, I actually have to go to her. Once I get to her, she will let me hold her and comfort her, but I have to walk to her. She will stand in the corner until I come to her. Very weird..

She does this when mad when she does not get her way, when she is frustrated when we cannot figure out what she wants, when we tell her no, and when she is just generally upset. Her favorite corner spots are in the corner by the bathroom door and hallway window, between the piano and the wall, and between the stairs and the toy box. I guess it is the tight spaces that she finds comforting.

It looks like she is being sent to stand in the corner for punishment. But she has never been punished, daycare does not put kids in the corner, and I don't think she has ever seen anyone punished like that, so I am not sure where this behavior came from.

Jerrod thinks she finds the corner because her feelings are hurt. He thinks that she waits for us to go get her because she needs reassurance that we still love her. I'm not sure what I think. But Jerrod and I were BOTH very sensitive kids, so who knows!
