[quote=Anonymous]I am out of my wits angry right now.  My DD has been exhibiting strange behavior in regards to risk taking for about a year now.  She has put herself and her siblings in danger quite a few times by doing things that she knows are wrong.  We have clear rules on many of the activities we do as a family, and my DD will take it upon herself to change the rules or disregard things we have told her.  I can't go into too many details but the most recent incident could have killed someone if it had happened at the right time.  Of course DD says it was safe and that no one was in danger, but the truth is she didn't get permission or check to see if it was safe.  She is a smart and normally caring child.  It is almost as if her eyes sort of glaze over for a minute and she just forgets what is expected of her.  I fear for the teenage years.  I wonder if counseling is in order, or if I should punish her.  It is hard to punish her because she is sort of ambivalent about things, and really does not care if I take things away.  She is the oldest child.  I worry about my other kids and their safety.  I think about her getting her driver's license and babysitting.  I wouldn't trust her for a second.[/quote]
