[quote=Anonymous]I’m concerned that she has gotten to 15 and you are just now in situations where this is becoming an issue. Too late for your daughter but for anyone else with younger kids - it is so important to push them to do these things at a young. There is such a culture of helicopter parenting, and just deciding at 14/15 that you can let your child be more than 15 feet away from you for the first time is way too late for this. Studies show that this culture of parenting creates anxiety and depression, and it’s going to be worse for kids with predispositions. As for your daughter, l would start with giving her freedoms with siblings, cousins or friends. Peer pressure seems to work better than anything parents can do as kids behave the worse with parents. If she’s over top anxious and getting worse, therapy and meds are probably in order. [/quote]
