All rights reserved. She gets in trouble at school and we notice the self esteem is just not there right now where it was before. Her grades were down but are now coming up. She doesn't think she's good at anything. We try to tell her she is and she will find herself but to no avail.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks for visiting our web site and sending a parenting question. Unfortunately, this drop in self-esteem is even more likely and often more enduring in girls, in this culture, than in boys. It's doubtful that you've done anything wrong. I think this comes up for you because your daugher has finally hit a snag. But it was inevitable that she would evidence some difficulty somewhere along the route of getting through her adolescence.
