[quote=Anonymous]Here are the broader concerns I would have: Does she typically give in to peer pressure? Impulse control / response inhibition? Today it was cutting school as an 8th or 9th grader - but as a parent understanding the decision making is key. For someone reason your 8th/9th grader thought it was OK to skip school. When is it that she is lying about where she is going after school? Who she is with? What she is doing? Are there things you need to work on for peer pressure so that she figures out how to say no - or not put herself in the situation where she need to. How would she as a 14 year old have responded to her friends recommending ditching school and going to a friends house all day and drinking (or other choices?) You know your child - and this is a time to held them grow those decision making skills on the way to becoming adults.[/quote]
