[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dd will be turning 16 in a month, she’s in 11th grade. She doesn’t want to do any extracurricular, doesnt want to take any AP classes, doesn’t want to join any orgs. If we ask her why, answer is : i dont want to. She doesn’t want to play any sports either but complains she wants to lose weight. We trued therapy and multiple tests , all came back normal. How do you motivate a teen to be more engaged or interested in things? If you ask her what she’s interested in: nothing. [b]All she wants to do is: travel, shopping, tiktok. [/b]I put screentime on her phone recently to limit her time online. [/quote]

We canceled a trip a few months ago because of her school performance. She has a lot of $$ in her savings from money gifted to her by family throughout the years that she has access to even if i dont give her money.

And who is funding those ? Stop paying for travel and shopping if she doesn’t get her act together! 
She can also get a job and pay for all this but you definitely should stop giving her what she wants if she’s not performing at the level she should be , both academically and in her extracurriculars. [/quote][/quote]

And why does she have access to money in her savings account?[/quote]
