So my daughter at the age of 12 is was doing great with her life untill recently. she used to love being with the whole family. but now she just says up in her room refusing to talk with anybody. Is this just a stage in life or somthing? My other 3 kids love spending time with me and my wife. Please help me out here.
Yes it is hormones. She is beginning to shape her opinions of her environment and the people around her. A factor could be that she isn't happy at school or she has had a falling out with a friend. Anything small and trivial like this can be magnified at this age and it feels jarring for the teen. These are common reasons but it could be anything that's made her moody, don't forget it is because she is trying to figure out how she feels about things.
Give her space and DO NOT put pressure on her to talk. It will only make it worse.
Buy her some good music and muffins or something. Some new pyjamas maybe. Just let her know that you are always there to support her without pressure.
She will be fine and most likely grow up to be more intellectual than you. Acknowledge this.
Good luck
I feel that the last statment was some-what of an insult...i am offended sir...good day! hmph!
"She will be fine and most likely grow up to be more intellectual than you. Acknowledge this."
What are you basing this statement on?
Many factors.
The better standard of education, diversity of information and resources available than when her parents were in school.
The influence of her generations prospects and all of the experience it will bring, which is more technologically and ecologically advanced than her parents generation.
And most of all the unconditional love and informed support her parents should be guiding her with so that when she has a daughter, she will know what to do when she is staying in her room being moody...
And not have to post a question on IIN
It may be that she's depressed. I remember being depressed, I never wanted anyone. I always kept in the dark too. I think u should definitely talk to her about it. Good luck :)
I am 12 almost 13 and I sort of exclude my family without knowing it. When I do talk to them I am sassy and rude without realizing it because I'm just growing out of my kid self and becoming a teenager. Parents seem annoying at this age.
Practically normal. Around that age is when they have friends and just approaching their teens. I wasn't like that, but my sister was.
I thought your wife was raped and killed? How do you have a 12 year old at age 25? You start that young? Or was she one of your 6th grade students that you adopted?
Yo OP here (SHOCKER!!!) so any ways im asking this cuz i know that i didnt act this way as a kid so ya...
When I was 12 I was like that... just give her time and make sure she's not depressed.do stuff with her with your wife like go on daddy-mommy daughter dates
