Re: 12 year old Daughter witn emotional issues
There comes a period in life when you need to be persistant.
It starts with communication.
I would recommend living without the internet and TV in your house until things sort themselves out. Remember your father's generation didn't have it and they did fine... She wants the internet - Library and skool are for that!
Her skool day can't end at 2:30pm. At 12 she has to be occupied until she practically goes to sleep - bar dinner!
She has to find sonething she likes to keep herself occupied.
Music, dance, sport - There are many things but most of all you need to guide and keep a good eye until there is trust.
I hope she doesn't runaway with some maniac with whom she might have been having a conversation on the net while you had A9o.
