[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have taken the money back and said, "Fine, then don't get any." Kids need to push through difficult feelings sometimes, or suffer the consequences. [/quote] When this is happening with a 15 yr old, a parent needs to actually parent their child and deal with the problem, not be a jerk about it. Obviously her dd needs real help, not a parent who can't be bothered to their job. [/quote] As the parent of a younger kid with anxiety, yes it sounds like DD15 does need professional help AND the job of the parent of a kid with anxiety is often tough love. It's really tough when you have a kid screaming "Don't go, I'm scared you are going to die!" to say "I know you feel worried, how are you going to help yourself calm down because you are going to school now."[/quote]
