[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are seeing a huge behavioral change, I would be a little worried. I’d wonder what she was accessing online and would check on that. If you really think therapy is necessary, then she goes. That is not a choice. That’s an adult decision. You could frame it as family therapy to not make her feel like the problem. I suspect something is going on and I’d be worried about the onset of adolescent depression, which looks very much like a lot of irritability. You could talk to your pediatrician and then have seen by the pediatrician for a talk, and also reach out to your school guidance department. I think she needs to be screened by a professional.[/quote]

OP here - this is concerning me. How do you know the difference between normal, tween moodiness and irritability vs depression? I feel like my order daughter went thru this stage where people told us to run to a therapist but my husband and I showed so much love and support... she is the strongest, most well balanced teen I know!  We don’t know what is happening with our younger daughter. Lying about technology and not doing homework is not acceptable. However I have let it go due to pandemic.[/quote]
