Thanks Jen. It's a challenge, but I think she'll be OK. Tomorrow is her first counselor appointment - tried to spend a little time today talking her through "So, have you thought about what you want to say to her? And what you hope to get out of it?" I think you are right, listening and validating is the key (now, where have I heard THAT before? )
Today turned out pretty nice. We spent half of it trying to talk D15 into joining us for a bike ride - she finally did, and had a good time. Kept ahead of mom for most of the 15 miles - that was new! Guess that last growth spurt in the legs was a good thing!
