I think that parenting takes a lot of self-confidence. Every where you turn there are people waiting to point out what you are doing wrong. My question is.... where are they when you do the right stuff??
I agree with the other posters. Follow her lead. You know her better than anyone else in the world. She is still just a BABY. Let her be one. No matter how far advanced she seems, she is just a little girl. She will spend the rest of her life learning and being away from you. Be selfish and keep her to yourself for another year and refuse to feel guilty about it. You will never get this time with her back again.
Hugs!!
