[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's a right or wrong here. I have a kid with anxiety and dh and I have different approaches. Sometimes one of us is right and something's the other. There's no way to predict how many things will play out, and we're often surprised and how things go. She's a work in process and we're all still learning. [/quote]

This is how I feel with my DD (she's 10) as well.  My daughter can be very anxious and in this scenario, my DH would have signed us all up for the activity anyway, just like with OP, even after the initial objection. And this works out fine more than 50% of the time - once we've prepped DD, or shown her a video about the activity, or whatever. It can be hard to predict, and we don't want to always push or always opt out. And at this age things do change a lot - 10 is nothing like 8 which was nothing like 6.

But with a meltdown at the zip line trial, no way we'd make her move forward. DH would be annoyed in the moment, but he'd get over it. OP's DH is definitely in the wrong at this point. [/quote]
