Dd aged 7 has been invited to spend a day at the beach and a funfair with a friend and two or three other children.
I'm not entirely comfortable with this - but dd is super keen to go.
Yesterday I raised the subject of keeping safe: not wandering off, who to approach if she gets separated from her friends, and then what to do if someone approaches her (scream and kick). I feel I have to raise these points.
Dd burst into tears and said she was now afraid of going.
I've really blown it. I wanted to give her information and now I've traumatised her. Help! What should I say now?
