[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anyone gets to five without a few bad trips. Sometimes the travel plans and the development just don’t line up. That said, I read Eli Liebowitz’s book about parenting children with anxiety and it was helpful for me. Not that I have diagnosed my child or yours with anxiety, but given her family history it just helps me to have the info in my head re: accommodations for rigidity, etc. Like yours, mine can be fearful and fixated. Little kids, man, they’re just not team players some days. It sucks, but they have no perspective. I’m sorry it made your trip so crappy. There is probably a camping trip coming when they’re 9 where they are so happy and into the Junior Ranger stuff and you can’t believe how wonderful your kid is. But this wasn’t that trip and it’s okay to just acknowledge to yourself that your kid made it suck and try to forget about it. [/quote]
