[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it would be logical to try to be less weirded out by the "baby" behavior and focus on helping her develop age-appropriate skills. She can learn how to do her own hair, for example. She can plate her own food. If she says, "I don't know how" your role here is to say "put some of each kind of food on the plate and go sit down" and then let her learn.

If she likes playing with younger kids and engaging in play, that's maybe kind of weird in that other kids her age are up to really different stuff. But the main issue sounds to me like YOU would be more comfortable if she was interested in dating and styling her hair. Stop trying to make her grow up faster than she's ready. It is fine that she's not interested in teenager stuff and teenager culture. There are definitely ways to "teen" in a healthy way, but a lot of it is really toxic and damaging. You are better with a permanent American Girl phase than an early Euphoria phase, in my opinion as someone else with a 16yo daughter.[/quote]
