[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, homework/schoolwork and civility are not negotiable. Give consequences if she’s not doing those basics. Otherwise, give her space, let her know you’re here for her and maybe try to find some little ways to be present and caring, and organize some family time that she might enjoy participating in. I also have the sweetest 11yo but she hasn’t had her period yet, and I expect that plus all the hormonal changes will make her act differently for a time. [/quote] I agree. I think more space and less emotional reactions from you, don’t take her behavior personally at all, and rules that are set and consequences written out in matter of fact way together. Again non emotional and positive but appropriately distanced response from you. But ask her from time to time to do things with you even if she rejects you. She will notice that you asks and may change her mind one of these days.[/quote]
