[quote=Anonymous]I mean — not eating, not brushing hair and teeth and refusing activities for a teen girl screams that she may have some neurodivergence or a mental health issue. I would get an evaluation before I thought this kid was lazy. It sounds like you veered towards authoritarian parenting, which may be blinding you to a child that needs some real help. I would try to stop thinking of this as bad behavior for 6-12 months while you seek some other types of help. If they all say this kid is just fine, then you can revisit consequences. [/quote]
