[quote=Anonymous]OP, no time to read all the responses, but here's my take. While respecting her introversion, I think it would be good for you to provide your daughter with opportunties to meet like-minded kids and gain some independence. Maybe sign her up for an art class or other activity where she can meet other kids with similar interests and dispositions? My niece was like your daughter, and as a young teen preferred to spend most of her time with family. She was and still is a lovely young woman. But at 24, she still struggles to do things independently (like go to the dentist, apply for jobs, etc)and wants a family member to do them with her. So, I would maybe sign DD up for that art class and teach her to take public transit to get there![/quote]
