[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 74115, member: 3527"] I tend to agree that she will not be allowed to go, anywhere, unsupervised for a while. I have not decided what to do about the dance yet. I am an alumni of the school, so I am entitled to be there if I so choose to go, but I am really not sure I am up for leaving my two children home or with a babysitter to go follow her around. See, a lot of what she does is attention seeking anyway, so if she sees that I WILL put off the younger ones to follow her around the dance instead of just making her spend the evening at home, it might not make the right impression. I mean, yes it DEFINITELY WOULD send one good message, but at the same time, I also believe it might send the message that she will get the attention if she does things like that. Not that she will have the opportunity to do THAT again, but other things, you know what I mean? On another note, I would agree that there are times when "Positive Discipline" is the right way to go, but I think that maybe issues of extreme safety concerns is not that kind of time. You all have definitely given me a lot to think about and given me the security I need to dive into this today. She should be home in about half an hour, so I will be having this discussion with her later this afternoon. Wish me luck!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
