[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your 8 year old daughter doesn't want to attend playdates on her own. She is worried about you making friends. And you say that you have anxiety. Anxiety is very often inherited. Please talk with your pediatrician about your daughter's anxiety to get it treated. As for staying home alone, start really really small. Talk to her about what to do when she is home alone. Then start with a really short time away. Like a 1-2 minutes like leaving her home alone while you take the trash out. Then a 5 minute trip where you to "say hi to the neighbor". Just very very gradually make the trips longer. [/quote] Since when is taking the trash out considered “alone”?[/quote]
