My daughter does not want to go to summer camp as the older girls said she is annoying.
Those mean girls wont be there for PJ day tomorrow, so she wants to skip today and go tomorrow.
Seems reasonable to ME but of course her mother wants to push her to go. It's one day.
But I suppose at the same time its a growth opportunity as she can go and just ignore them.
That is hard to do when you are an only child whose parents are getting a divorce.
My daughter is a head strong kid who likes what shes like and doesnt like what she doesnt like.
I want to be sure that I give her encouragement and confidence, not have her feeling like I am pushing her to go to get her out of the house for a few hours.
Ugh...some days this whole parenting thing is so emotionally taxing.
