It's a tricky one as its such normalised behaviour. I guess you have to un-scialise, or pre socialise, Tara by telling HER it's good to say NO if she feels uncomfortable and getting her to recognise what those feelings are in the body. Xx
PS YOU ARE A GREAT MUM

Thank you 😥😥. I think I needed to hear that after writing this post... we have started rehearsing some situations. She can emphatically say No kissing!! And if she knows we are going to see new people or enter a place with a lot of people, she will say, I no want to say hello. Then I know it's full-on helping her to stay comfortable while feeling super shy. It is getting slightly easier as she gets older...

Yes, they come into their own. I never had that problem with my boy. They do sat boys are easier, but then, I worked hard to make him a man who could cook, do laundry, read literature and be feminist! He'd never kiss girls without asking ;P xxx
We can feel guilty in all sorts of ways. At 21, this Christmas he had spent time with his biological father and family in UK. Returning, him and his girl were telling us about the terrible parenting they saw going on. I joked 'so I didn't do that bad a job then?' and he insisted I did a GREAT job and they'd raise their own similarly. I was so relieved. I carry so much guilt... over nothing lol. We do the best we can. 💜💜💜
