My Daughter

cigdemg8160 by cigdemg8160 Standing(May 2008) (rank 500+)

My 9 years old likes to visit her classmates to have play dates with them.Some are our neighbors' children. 

I usually talk with hteir moms while the kids are playing after school dismissal. I am arranging play dates

and inviting them to her birthday parties.But I don't want

to let her go every people's houses especially those kids

that I haven't met their parents before.When she is not allowed to go, she is getting frustrated.She can even sometimes 

show harsh reactions. As she is growing, it is getting difficult to manage her.Handling such situations needs a great 

degree of patience  and professionalism nowadays. I know that I really need to have focused conversations with her but 

I believe that kids have to learn there is a limit on demanding.Children may not be able to understand why they shouldn't do 

anything they want. Because they are really excited about trying new things and they have a great life of enjoyment .

If we make things happen every time for them, they will never have a chance to learn how people should behave when 

they get disappointed.They need to know that real life does not  always meet their expectations.So we have to make them

ready for the life,   while we are giving our love, our every source makes available for them.

Re: My Daughter

I have a nine year old granddaughter that shows attitude when she isn't allowed to do what she wants as well.  I just tell her that the more she shows attitude, the less she is going to get to do.  With kids today, you have to have a firm hand or they will try to run all over you if you don't.  My granddaughter is finally realizing that life is a lot of give and take rather than just take.
