Need some advice please
Hi All,
I am a single dad who has a 14 year old daughter but I am finding it very hard to cope. She has started to be disruptive at school as well as everywhere else for that matter. She seems to lose her temper all the time now right to the point where she is hitting people including me. How do I deal with her bad temper tamtrums get her to see that what she is doing is wrong? Gordy remove nospam from e-mail address if replying by e-mail. |

What's with all the single dads? lol
Hmm.... some of that is typical teenage crap. The violence though, I would suggest talking to a pro. T "Gordy" wrote in message news:9J7qc.104$0Y4.51@newsfe1-win...

This issue is what my preacher and I talked about yesterday: coping with preteen and teenagers. He suggested I get a book and darn if I did not forget it, but it was something like "gizzels" and Kate would probably know. Anyway, he said, something about odd years and even years and finding out who am I and then where am I going. It was my gramma funeral, so I did not comprehend too much. But I would like to find the book. Good luck. V |

What's the history here? Has she always had behaviour issues or been a concern at school, or is this new? If it's new, is it sudden or has it happened gradually. Does she feel bad after she's acted out? Does she get so angry it's like she can't be reached at all, can't even hear you? What's her sleep pattern like? What are her friends like? New ones, or the same old ones? Any huge changes in her recent life? Give us more info; it'll help us give you better feedback. Cele |

a classic answer to this is get involved with a local church that has a
youth/ mentorship program/ perhaps your computer can give directive on that. People oft forget that marriage includes the church body - so just because you are seperated from your spouse - doesnt mean your church family cant lend TLC or tough love. Embrace the child not estrange the child through an active spiritual life program. Then ask for your communicative role. Just dont make it a resolution - make it a habit you both agree to participate in. Possibly - get your spouses support. Also - ask the stillness of the Spirit what is your own growth in this need being met. Blessings/ not curses. |

rainbows.. it was a group councling session for kids dealing with seperation, divorce and even death of a spouse...the kids feel like they are not alone and are more apt to share their feelings... this cost me nothing and was through the church... try and find a program like this ... my kids went for 2 years and it helped them and me alot... worth a try...
