[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, stop being lazy and go inside.[/quote] I don't think I'm being lazy when I send my DD into stores on her own. I'm teaching her independence, problem-solving, and helping her gain confidence. If I'm going to send her in someplace alone, I start planning that way in advance. I go in with her at least twice, I make sure we make a connection with someone who works there, I point things out to DD. As we're walking out I casually say "I bet you could have done all that on your own." Then next time, she does. But go ahead and keep thinking I'm lazy.[/quote]
