My theory here is that, in addition to her obvious snow and ice manipulation ability, Elsa is also clairvoyant.
So here is my reasoning behind this theory. Any time something bad is about to happen in Frozen, Elsa always tries to prevent whatever it is before anyone else has any idea something is about to happen. To start with, at the beginning of the movie when Anna wakes Elsa up to play, Elsa tries to turn Anna away by telling her to go back to sleep. My theory behind this is that Elsa had a bad feeling about what could happen when the two sisters played with Elsa's powers without adult supervision. And then wouldn't you know that after Anna convinces Elsa to build a snowman with her that Elsa ends up accidentally striking Anna with her powers.

Even once she runs away, Elsa is still trying to make Anna keep her distance, because she knew she would end up hurting her younger sister again. Elsa tells Anna to leave during "For the First Time in Forever Reprise", which leads up to Elsa accidentally striking Anna again with her powers after receiving the shocking news about how she accidentally created an eternal winter everywhere.
Elsa unsuccessfully tried to make Anna leave before she could hurt her, which leads her to create the giant snow monster, Marshmallow, to force Anna to leave so that she wouldn't be able to hurt her any further than she already had.
I also need to point out how worried Elsa was about her parents going on their two week journey in the beginning of the movie. Everyone assumes that this worry was due to Elsa being so self conscious and terrified of her own uncontrolled powers, a theory also shared by Anna and Elsa's parents who respond to Elsa's comment of, "Do you have to go?" with, "You'll be fine, Elsa." Elsa wasn't worried about not being able to control her powers for two weeks by herself, Elsa was worried about the safety of her parents, again due to a bad feeling she no doubt had about their journey.

Elsa didn't disapprove of Kristoff, because she had no reason to do so. Kristoff didn't turn out to be a complete jerk the way that Hans did, causing Elsa to not have any bad feelings about him or reason to forbid the relationship.
I may be thinking too much into this, but I totally believe this theory is 100% plausible.
