[quote=Anonymous]I’m a PP who mentioned I have a kid like this and so I’m familiar with the uncertainty of when to push them and when to listen and let them choose. But that is just as true of my “regular” kid without anxiety who is very adventurous. I booked a voodoo tour in New Orleans and she was PETRIFIED to go into the voodoo museum. We cajoled and tried to convince her and she just wasn’t having it, so my husband stayed outside with her since me and the other kid (who is typically the “problematic” one in these scenarios :D ) could enjoy it. Listening to your kids when they express agency is such a powerful way for them to feel loved. It doesn’t mean they dictate everything but you have to use your intuition and judgment to know when is the time you really can back off and honor their fear, concern, or simple preference. [/quote]
