[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 167919, member: 805"] I must say Angela, I think Sara has a point. If your daughter is a challenging child, holidays, parties, end of the school year, unexpected changes in her schedule, etc., an cause meltdowns, hyperactivity, and acting out. Being invited to a birthday party is a huge thing for many of our difficult children. Many don't get invited to other people's homes because of their behavior and/or because they have social issues that prevent them for making or maintaining friendships. I would only deny a child as young as your daughter a chance of social activity for a serious infraction of your rules or you honestly don't believe she will be able to succeed. I don't think you did the wrong thing by allowing her to go to your mother's house for the night. Not attending the party was her punishment. An extremely wise woman told me, when I was struggling with my difficult child at age 7 and things were very dark, that I should never withold anything that resembled love or friendship since they were essential to his building self awareness. Looking back, I realize that those things were very important to bringing him out of the toughest times. Enjoy the peace and quiet at your house!! Sharon [/QUOTE]
