[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes you have to push your kids a little if they are regressive or not moving forward and managing age appropriate developmental behavior. She may still want to be a young child but she is a teen and should be encouraged to start developing some independence and skills that allow her to act like a 14 year old. Just like if your 5 year old still wants to be spoon fed or your 8 year old still wants you to dress them every day. These are things that developmentally they can and should do on their own but if you never expect that of them, then they will be reliant on you. That leaves them behind their peers developmentally.
