[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, yes we are looking at other school options for next year. I realize I have failed as a parent, but hoping there is still time to get both of us back on track. I have an older special needs daughter who required a lot of my attention the past few years. It's not an excuse but it's been really hard.[/quote] Since you are already grounding her, I would focus less on discipline and more on family time. Ok, perhaps a 13 year old will see that as punishment :). Make being home for dinner (or another activity ) mandatory. Have some family game nights. Have some heat to heart talks on why her behavior is troublesome. Tell her you love her every day. Even when you are angry or tired. Be prepared for all if this to not work at first. But push through. And forgive yourself. No one is a perfect parent. You do have time to turn it around. Good for you for making an effort![/quote]
