[quote=Anonymous]This is the kind of thing that a few meetings with a family therapist can help with. If the family goes as a whole, she is not the identified problem. You put it to her that as parents you need help raising teenagers in this confusing world. You talk to the therapist ahead of time to outline what you see as the problem, and a good therapist will allow the kid to express her point of view, while you stay silent, because you are trying to learn about her internal world. And if you see this as a hormonal issue, explain that to her. She surely doesn’t know what is happening to her and I’m sure feels awful and out of control. She might need a visit to the doctor or an endocrinologist, if this is very cyclical. None of this is fun for you, but it’s also not fun for her. Good luck.[/quote]
