[quote=Anonymous]You did the right thing! I witnessed a similar situation play out at Disney last week. A dad wanted his son to go on one of the thrill rides and the kid was having an absolute meltdown just as they were about to board. Ultimately, you have to respect your child's feelings and forcing your kid to do something like this is telling her that her feelings don't matter. Imagine if your DH was a peer/friend who got "mad" at your child because your child didn't want to do something that made her feel fearful or anxious. How would you feel about that person as a friend? You are teaching your daughter to trust and stand up for herself when faced with a situation that makes her uncomfortable instead of just going along with what someone else wants to make that person happy. Remember that sometimes it takes MORE courage to say no. [/quote]
