I am not sure what to do anymore.. and wondering if there are more people out there going through this....
what do I do with her? my daughter is 10 years old, and is so miserable, she is always moody and bored. she never plays in her room or with her toys. she is always pouting and complaining. I have to constantly tell her to clean her room, take a shower, brush her teeth. She listens to her dad, but when it comes to me its like I am talking to the wall. I have tried grounding, taking things away, nothing works.. she is only happy if she has a friend over to play all the time. how can I get her to entertain herself and be happy? I try to get her involved in reading books this summer, she fights me on that, tried to get her to get creative and decorate her room, that didnt work. we cant afford to put her in summer school this summer or go places, so she is home with me all summer. any suggestions? I am frustrated and she is frustrated.... help
