[quote=Anonymous]It’s a tough age OP be kind to yourself. Try to connect on what SHE likes, what her interests are, and think about small moments of connection. For my kid at that age it was Dystopian novels, I’d ask about them… or google some new authors or top ten lists and mention them… Netflix movies, even if she sat for half of it that was good for me, Stay dialed into her music tastes and artists, and if I read something about them, where they were playing etc I’d bring it up, she liked dark nail Polish, I’d mention the nail salon had new shades of purple and we’d go get nails done. basically conversation starters and activities that mattered to her. Also, for my high anxiety mildly depressed kid, I’d try to make her laugh. That would get her to stay in the kitchen just a little bit longer. You need to make an adjustment. And if you are depressed, your heaviness is not something she is going to want to engage with if she is struggling herself. So work on your own mental health. I believe You don’t lose your kid in years. The relationship is lost or maintained in moments.[/quote]
