Your daughter sounds like she might be a very secure and independent young lady. Sometimes children with a mind of their own will "pick" who they want to sit with and go home with. It's not that they don't love their parents. In fact, they are so comfortable with their parents and with themselves that they are just looking for variety. You can just make light of the situation in this case. "You want to go home with Mrs. XYZ? That would be funny!" You just want to indicate that you aren't worried about the behavior but that it isn't going to happen! However, if it is actually possible that your daughter really likes other people better than you because you are too hard on her, too critical, negativistic, bossy or otherwise mean and unpleasant,, then you must increase your warmth and reduce the negativity in order to win your daughter's heart. I don't know which of the two situations accounts for your daughter's behavior, but you can figure that out yourself and choose the correct intervention.    Sarah Chana
