[quote=Anonymous]It is good she has friends that she wants to do sleepovers with, so maybe she has depression, anxiety or another neurotypical condition that makes it difficult to manage her strong emotions. May want to look into dialectical behavior therapy. DBT was developed for people with borderline personality disorder, but have been using it for other conditions as well. Teaches skills for handling distressing life events. As others have said, she doesn't want to be miserable, but doesn't know how to express herself well. I've just started reading the book 'The disengaged Teen' and it has some specific ways to interact with teens. Maker sure your expectations are clear. Don't go crazy with keeping her room clean, if she is depressed or ADHD, that may be more than she can manage. But agree limiting access to phones is likely a valuable tool for motivation. [/quote]
