[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like the new school situation could be overwhelming for her. I routinely lie down with my 12 yr old DD at night and talk with her with the lights out. Most of the time she doesn't share anything significant. (She's not worrying about what I think she might worry about. I guess that's a good thing, right?) But this routine helps open the doors to discussion when something similar to OPs occurs. Try talking with her at night in a dark room. If you don't already have this kind of routine, start slow. For the first few nights just talk - Start by talking about your day. Add some feelings into it and then ask if she wants to share anything. It may take a few nights for her to open up, but keep trying. Good luck![/quote]
