[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the teachers wanted her there, to discuss her performance, so yes she had to go this time. And, her refusing to leave the car was very disrespectful so I could not allow her to not attend after doing that.  Should I have let her stay in the car?![/quote]

Yes.

Where is the part of this where you and she had a calm conversation about why she didn't want to come?

And then you called her father, which caused her to physically try to flee, and then he forced her into the building? And you're not disgusted and horrified with yourselves for bullying her like this? All you can see from your overwhelmed, anxious, and intimidated daughter is defiance that needs squashing into the ground to show that you are stronger? Gross.

Where are you thinking this kind of parenting is going to lead? The good news for you is you probably won't have any problem with her being very eager to get out of your car at the train station or airport on her 18th birthday, as she runs as far as she can on a one-way ticket.

Maybe try talking to your daughter or taking her to therapy to get to the bottom of why she is so anxious. Though I think I have a pretty good idea why.[/quote]
