[quote=Anonymous]My 15 YO DD has always been anxious/difficult time making decisions but copes well. Yesterday we were grocery shopping and on the way out wanted to buy some girl scout cookies. I gave her the $20 and said she could go buy whatever she wanted. She melted down crying, saying she was scared and would only do it if I came with her. I was pretty shocked and said no, that she was fully capable and should do it on her own. She eventually did it but was mad at me for making her do something that made her feel scared. I am not particularly proud how I handled it but I do think making her do it was important so she gains experience knowing she *can* do things that make her uncomfortable. Do you think she should see a therapist for her anxiety? I suggested it and she was very against it.[/quote]
