[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes me feel better to hear the my DD is not the only teen going through this.  She has friends at school and through a sport she plays, but when she's not busy with those, she is pretty much at home.  She doesn't make much effort to go out and schedule things, so I don't think this really bothers her.  I think she is just a homebody.  I wish she would socialize more like many of her peers, but I can't force her.  So, we do watch streaming series together and she has started reading a lot.  I am looking forward to the spring when her sport starts back up so she spends more time with kids her age.[/quote]

I do t think you should encourage such DW pence of a 15 year old on you.[/quote]

DP. Watching TV with your 15 year old is encouraging dependence? I’m not the OP, but believe me, most if not all of us posting here would be thrilled to see our kids get out more. But you can’t force it once they get to a certain age.[/quote]

Depends on how often/how much you do it. I am in a similar situation, and I am looking for DD to do things without me, rather than come up with yet another thing to do with her. I love spending time with her, she’s my sunshine, but I want her to have a teenage experience and gain emotional and social independence.[/quote]
