[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would insist on her joining us. 14 is still too young to be allowed to pout off on her separate way.[/quote] I tried this and she is doing the "I refuse to go." "I refuse to get in the car." thing. She is very strong willed.[/quote] Two questions: -Why does she not want to go? -What is your major worry if she does not go?[/quote] She does not want to be around people lately, except her friends. So I guess she doesn't want to be around family. Also, she got into a tiff with her cousin who she has to share a room with when we visit. [b]My major worry if we go away and leave her home is that she will have nothing to do, no one around, and be very lonely.[/b] [/quote] That's a natural consequence - the kind that people (including 14-year-olds) learn from. No one ever suffered lasting damage from four days with nothing to do and nobody to hang out with.[/quote]
