Although she can be very grown up with some things, she still acts like a toddler having daily meltdowns and tantrums over the smallest of things. Makes me so sad, but reading posts like this also make me realise that we are definitely not alone.

I totally get where you are coming from and parenting is tough all the way through, there is no manual, to help them gain confidence, the irony is you must gain confidence and then give them trust to get it right too, this is scary when its their health at risk. I must of read the same book you read about the circles, I tried the theory out with my twins in a large field when they were about 3 years old, they would only go so far, before they turn any corner near the wooded area, a furtive glance to see if I would follow. So I tried the wandering off and amazingly they did follow me. Its not something that I would want to test in a crowded place though! Good luck with the summer cookery and that independence gaining.Jo Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469769961218586739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90512534160842468.post-57958943112128068542013-06-25T20:15:36.010+01:002013-06-25T20:15:36.010+01:00Fab fab fab post!
