[quote=Anonymous]I was this teen. My parents were overly strict and ignored my anxiety....the provocation back and forth was awful. I would provoke them, they would provoke me while trying to get a handle on the situation. Looking back, the undiagnosed anxiety and lack of education my parents had was the root cause. Defiance because I was anxious and couldn't express it. When I did, my emotions were dismissed and I was constantly told to "get over it". If you find yourself repeating this phrase or telling your DD that she's overreacting and then notice her reaction to that gets worse.....get her anxiety treated. Her emotions are very real to her and you need to acknowledge them, even if they seem off the wall. She's probably having panic attacks and they just appear like tantrums because you interpret this as defiance, when it reality her emotions are out of control and she can't control them and needs help. Hugs, space, empathy. [/quote]
