[quote=Anonymous]My DD who is also 10 is exactly like this.  She’s super social, is probably already ready to go to college she’s so independent and ready to see the world. She gets invited to everything, and wants to go to everything.  Her best friend lives a few doors down so it’s almost playdated everyday and sleep overs every weekend.  Then the birthday parties, movies, carnivals, sports games, etc,

We have to say no to a lot of stuff, because we were never seeing her and it was setting up ridiculous expectations that her life was a Disney cruise full of super fun activities all day everyday and it was also supporting friends and fun over family and rest.  At first there were serious tears, but we have had to hold firm.  Some examples, no sleepovers two days in a row, once you accept an invitation you can’t accept something better that comes along and cancel, family activities take priority over play dates, etc.

If you think she’s getting run down, you just have to tell her no.  She may have a tantrum, but she will live.  I’ve been there, stay firm.  [/quote]
