[quote=Anonymous]Daughter is 14 and still enjoys a lot of activities that seem more suited for younger kids. She plays outside with neighborhood kids who are around 3 to 10 years old, rides bikes and scooters with them, and loves going to the trampoline park, the fair, or other places to play. She even finds fun in things like riding in the shopping cart at the store. She also enjoys bracelet-making kits, board games, puzzles, and outdoor games. At home, she likes spending time with family, and she’ll sometimes randomly sit on my lap, which feels like something a much younger child would do.

Socially, she does have a few regular teen interests, like some music and hanging out with friends, but she’s not very interested in typical teen activities like going to the mall or attending parties. When we go to events, she tends to hang out with younger kids rather than teens or adults. When it comes to movies or shows, she usually doesn’t care much about them, but if she does watch something, it’s often whatever her younger siblings are watching—shows more suited to younger kids rather than the typical teen dramas or comedies.

She’s a good kid, gets along fine socially, and isn’t completely immature, but I’m starting to wonder if this is just a typical phase or something I should be concerned about. Has anyone else experienced this with their teen? Should I be worried about her immaturity, or is this just a phase?[/quote]
