[quote=Anonymous]It didn’t erase the whole day, she will still have good memories of the field trip and the pizza. Especially if you don’t make a huge deal about the meltdown. Most likely she was tired or hormonal or there was something else at play (friend drama) that she didn’t have control over. When she’s calm the next day I would talk to her briefly about her reaction to not getting what she wanted. Say “I understand you’re disappointed we couldn’t go, but we aren’t going to fulfill your every wish. Was there something else going on that upset you?” Then try to hold back and reaction or judgment until she stops talking. I have a pretty strong relationship with my older teen and I think it’s because we communicate well. And part of the parent’s role is listening without always reacting. [/quote]
