[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Yes 9:25 - I totally agree.  I need some tools and am grateful for the posts, more than you know.  Keep them coming.

9:30 - that is what I am trying to find out.  Do you think it is time for professional intervention of some sort?  Professional recommendations (whom do I see)?

TIA. [/quote]

OP, please. "Professional intervention" is not the solution to every parenting quandry.

You have been given some good advice here. Your child is nine; that is old enough to begin to understand the basics of DCs ingrained personality, the parts that are not going to change. Maybe DC is a homebody; that is fine, but s/he will need to be urged to do a few things but not overstimulated. Perhaps s/he is just lazy; if that is the case, it needs to be addressed as such. Maybe s/he has not yet found a passion in life. That is understandable, too, and up to parents to help with that.

It sounds like you just need better communication with your kid. Please don't run to a shrink for that. Read some books, talk to other parents if you need to, but most of all, just spend time understanding what is going on here. Don't sell yourself so short. You are the mother; you can  figure this out.[/quote]
