[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact she’s 11 and when you try and talk to her she screams and runs away is an issue. Does she normally do this when you talk to her about something she’s not keen on? 
I have an 11yo DD who also wears baggy clothing and is very boyish. But her body is her body and it’s changing so  she needs to know what’s going on and how to handle it. 
Your DD does too. [/quote]

No, only about this. Which is why I'm asking for advice. She's my most open, affectionate, and emotionally intelligent kid, so all of this is pretty out of character for her. I know she's not happy about it all, but I'm trying to figure out how to help her through her grief.  [/quote]

It is not "grief OP. I seriously doubt that. It is not normal that she moved that book to a sibling's room. It is not normal that she screams about this.

Have you been talking to her about her body since she was a small child? I sure hope so.

Something else is going on and now it is time to get outside help. Not like at school she is not hearing things.

Talk to your pediatrician and your gyn for guidance. It is clear this is past the point of only you helping her.

Not the OP, but with respect, I strongly disagree. Some girls embrace puberty, some deny it’s happening. Some girls can’t wait to be women, some grieve very hard for their childhood. It’s all on a normal spectrum. Love, patience and openness are the key and this mom is on the right track.[/quote]

Np who totally agrees with this![/quote]
