[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 672268, member: 18958"] I think you have acted correctly, seeking more information to act proactively. I think a neuropsychologist is a good idea, too. Perhaps with a referral from your pediatrician insurance will pay. I think that how their futures will look is unknowable from the age of your daughter. I think there is as much risk that may come from worrying too much at this point, and with that behaving differently towards our children so as to cue them that we are overly concerned. This may give them power over us or in the family that they can misuse, or make them feel as if they are damaged or different. There is a wide variation in adolescents and in people. Development is not standard nor is it even. Our children are individuals and unique. That does not mean that something is necessarily wrong with them that time and their own efforts will not straighten out. With the evaluations you will identify what needs to be addressed, if anything, and do so. We had a psychotherapist for my son since 6th grade. I found that I was the one who needed the support and to learn how to normalize what was happening. On this forum I have learned that so much of my pain and worry had to do with my own childhood. You sound like a loving and caring parent. Keep posting. COPA [/QUOTE]
