[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Letting your tweens be uncomfortable on occasion is ok. If she’s safe then that is what matters. Letting them experience discomfort and some anxiety whe situations aren’t ideal will help them learn to cope when things aren’t ideal in the future. If you’re constantly rushing to fix/arrange happiness then it’s going to backfire on you. [/quote] Yes, in theory. But I would not intentionally set my kid up to be anxious. There is a difference between allowing a kid to cope when stuff happens, and purposefully doing things you know make the kid anxious. Depends on the kid/how anxious s/he will be. Anyway, my tween does not like being home alone, but tolerates it. In OP’s situation, I would attend the wedding, attend the reception for a short time, then come home on the early side. It’s very rude to skip the ceremony but attend the reception. Have the kid FaceTime, read a book, watch a movie to distract her from being alone. [/quote]
