[quote=Anonymous]Doe she also have anxiety? Is she taking any medication for it and/or depression? If not, she should be. My 13 yo DS suffers from ADHD/anxiety. His father has ADHD/depression/anxiety. I recognize your DD's behavior. If I can project from my own situation, it sounds like your DD doesn't so much want independence but to get away from a challenge. The challenge could be just about anything and it could be a consistent challenge or a fleeting one. It sounds like it was an impulsive decision. She had reached a 'fight or flight' moment. That is a fear/anxiety symptom significant enough to treat with medication. She should not be punished for it but helped to find a more appropriate response. [/quote]
