[quote=Anonymous]It is very important that your daughter knows she can talk to you about anything. Also that you will always give her support in navigating new adolescent freindships that can come with new-to-her issues. There is a TON of forthcoming talk about mental health issues amongst tweens and teens. And that is a step in the right direction for us as a society. However, I have seen some kids in this age group lean too heavily on their friends for support, and that kid can develop a responsibility for their friend’s well-being. That concern can tranfer into a responsibility that is beyond a tween/teens capacity to bear. In the end, this is an opportunity to deepen your trusting, non-judgemental relationship with your daughter by being there for her and helping her to navigate this new friendship while also recognizing her own limits. Good luck, op. [/quote]
