We were a little apprehensive when she told us she wants to go to a friend's birthday party. It's on a Friday afternoon after school so at least we won't need to take time out the weekend. Meimei had to write a note for 萱萱 to ask for details on the party, like which friends are going, which adults will be there, etc.
Eventually Meimei ended up staying there with her. And the feedback was "They are super happy" "If we had deprived her she would be devastated". I'm glad she had fun ... I guess we can expect more of such events. We just need to be smarter at managing her expectations and our own sensibilities on 'letting go with caution'.
