[quote=Anonymous]This is a really hard time. My 11 year old boy has been lying and not doing all his work. Definitely moodier. Our requirements are: chores (minimal—like feed and walk the dog, empty dishwasher most days, laundry once a week), homework and school stuff done, and basic manners. But while we love family hikes, we have let him stay home (which kills me). I would encourage you to read some books about teens (Untangled is great re Teen girls) and at some point take her to pick up a special drink and ask her what she needs from you (not what you think she needs). And while she might say “don’t make me go to school” you can say “that’s not an option, how else can I be there for you? If you need space that’s ok!” She will come back to you when she needs you if she trusts you. [/quote]
