She does have anxiety, her anxiety mainly revolves around being alone. She sees a therapist but pretty much just tells her that everything is fine, so not sure how productive it is. I agree with the poster who said she doesn’t know how to fall asleep. She is pretty active, my boys are actually harder to get outside than she is. She was playing a sport but that is over now. I will try and suggest more outside time for the whole family, as well as make her get up earlier. I tend to let her sleep as much as she wants on the weekend since I know her body needs it. I will also suggest the audio book, that might be batter compromise since she’d rather be watching tv. [/quote]

Maybe try a new therapist.  My son has been in therapy and it’s amazing how different the experience can be with different people.  His first therapist was not a match.  His second one worked for awhile but eventually he gave her the “everything is ok” also.

Also, do whatever you can do to increase exercise.

Have you tried doing some relaxation exercises with her?   Would it helps when she wakes you up to go lie down on the floor in her room.  She is pretty old for that, but if she fears being alone, it might help.  Can you pay for a therapist appointment for you to talk to the therapist about tips for you?  Got us, that was the beneficial part of therapy.  [/quote]
