[quote=Anonymous]Sadly, this is a tale as old as time. It happened to me and it happened to my dd and she's gotten older now and she made a poor choice directed to a friend and so the former "sweet" wouldn't do a thing to hurt a fly girl has inadvertently hurt a friend. We did not let it slide or pretend it was okay. But I'm realizing while talking to her therapist (yes my dd is also in therapy for anxiety), that we can't make decisions for our kids as they grow older. And we have to let them experience things and make mistakes. It's how they grow into the adult they will become. Not saying they shouldn't have consequences or lessons at home. But I think you'll realize in a few short years how much harder all this is to control. So I encourage you to let your dd handle it like your dh suggests. Give her the tools to be stronger, help her find other friends, give her more exposure to different activities, etc. [/quote]
