[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team DH. Don't let your kids take your family hostage like that. That's some seriously spoiled behavior. If it's anxiety or something, learn how not to coddle that, it will only make things worse.[/quote] Except now DH is the one pouting and holding the family hostage with his bad mood! I probably would have required the tween to try to activity for a few minutes and see if she liked it (assuming it’s the kind of thing you can try like that). But low-key and I wouldn’t have pushed it. And I would have let her pick the next activity. At the end of the day, this is classic rebellion. Tween didn’t want to zip line or whatever, and a big reaction by the grown-ups is just going to increase her rebellion. In situations like this, I really think parents need to think about what kind of lesson they are trying to teach. That the kid has no autonomy? That their preferences don’t matter?[/quote]
