I don’t know that it is healthy to diminish or taint someone else’s accomplishments or attributes in an attempt to quell jealousy. I’m sure Brielle wouldn’t want other people to do that to her. Shouldn’t she be taught to be confident in herself and that she doesn’t have to dim someone else’s shine in order to shine herself?

The descriptions of how Brielle has acted in various situations and was allowed to act at the last wedding make me cringe. She truly needs to work on her social skills, although I don’t know that a wedding is the place to practice. I wouldn’t want such behavior at my event.

She needs to learn to be happy for other people without rationalizing that they somehow don’t deserve it or that they really are “worse” than she is. The technique described by the OP to deal with jealousy comes across as really quite destructive to a child (and to an adult)!
