Joanna Fortune: Our eldest child won't let her younger sisters out of her sight

Risk-taking activity enables children to experience mastery over a task and encourages them to stretch beyond what they think they can do so that they develop confidence

Our ten-year-old is the oldest of three girls. She is kind, sporty, and playful. However, she can’t let her younger sisters out of her sight. Even where we are at home, she has to know where they are in the house. We have tried play therapy, which she is still going to, but I’m not sure how much it’s helping. I love that she is so caring towards her sisters, but it’s just gone to an extreme. Can you suggest anything to help?

The letter you sent in is longer and more detailed than what we have printed here, and I am cognisant of the additional detail in how I answer this question.
