[quote=Anonymous]She probably figured it was NBD. In the mind of an autonomous- seeking 14 yr old who feels invisible and doesnt have the mindset to be a forward thinker, she probably figured school is a big nothing burger during the shortened Thanksgiving week, other kids were skipping too, it's "just" the bookstore/not a rap concert, She reached out to you as a trusted source for help when in need, etc. I'm not necessarily condoning it, but it really helps to put it into the context and perspective of a 14 yr old. I actually think it's brilliant she could navigate metro, opt for a bookstore to hang out, and know that she can call me anytime for help no matter what. If she's ordinarily a good kid, just talk it through with her. The skipping school part is a bit frowny, but otherwise emphasize you trust her not to repeat this w/o touching base with you again.[/quote]
