[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell them no. She's not ready, we'll consider it next year. Then you shut down further communication on the subject. Sidenote, you may want to start pushing your daughter a little more to do things she isn't comfortable with, no it doesn't have to be sleep away camp, but it should be something. She's 11 and needs to start finding her footing. Your description of your daughter is a lot like me at that age and I wish my mom had given me a little more of a push to spread my wings it would have saved me a lot of pain and issues as an adult.[/quote] Disagree. I was a shy kid and my parents tried to help me come out of my shell, but it just made me upset and I would withdraw more. Ultimately I grew out of it in my own time. Being shy or a "late bloomer" is not a pathology. [/quote]
