[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d tell her to get off the internet and focus on the present moment.[/quote] Yes, I agree that screen time isn't a good solution. She either focuses on the past (Oh I wish I were back in 7th or 8th grade where everything was so easy or elementary school where we still got treated like kids) or she focuses on the future (Mom i'm gonna live with you and dad no matter what ok?! OR I don't want to be an adult yet, I'm not ready)[/quote] I have a daughter just like this. She is 14.5 and a HS freshman. I think it helps her a little that she has an older sister who is fearless (or at least acts that way.) I just reassure her. “Of course you can live at home and go to Mason if you want to. You may change your mind though and that’s ok too. Wait and see how you feel then.” Rinse, repeat. Life IS scary when you really think about it.[/quote]
