For Halloween I let Audrie lead. She chose which houses she went to. She choose the pace we moved at within reason....not faster than I can walk. She took over the treats and told me she wanted to do it. And she did.
Even after the little man came back, there was no whining. No crying. No fighting. Nothing. Just a good time for both of them.
In the past I would be encouraging of not skipping houses and making sure they did enough. Don't quit after the first block. This year I just went with her flow.
It's one of the suggestion for highly sensitive. Letting her lead. She knows what she can and can't handle. And obviously I do not always.
Everything was just easier, even bedtime. She can't always lead and it won't always work like this, but we sure enjoyed our night.
