![]() Views on Article - Always Late! Name: waterfall Country: United Kingdom Comment: I am having a dreadful time with my 14 year old daughter. I find it impossible to get her to school on time in the morning. She just doesn't care about being late. She won't get up in the morning - after her alarm clock I have to keep calling her to get up. Quite often she is saying she doesn't feel well just to stay home. She takes forever getting ready, putting makeup on and doing her hair and I have to keep yelling up the stairs. I have tried making her go to bed earlier and she glares at me and says NO and when I finally get her upstairs and think she's asleep, I discover she's still awake later. She comes in my room in the middle of the night sometimes and sleeps in my bed. Sometimes I'll hear the bath running at 10.30 when she's supposed to be in bed and she'll stay in there for ages. I love her very much, her father and I have separated about a year ago and I know she's finding this very hard. Her Dad and I are still friends and she sees him quite a bit but she wants us to live together again. She can be the most lovely warm sensitive girl but a lot of the time she is so full of anger, particularly when I ask her to do something or tell her she can't wear a low top and she swears quite badly. I am finding it hard coping on my own the majority of the time. Last term she missed so much school and she's not doing very well this term. I took her to talk to CAMS in Warrington a few months ago but they felt she was okay. However I have made another appointment but it's taking ages. Please can you advise me. I am really stressed about getting her up and to school on time, she is taller than me and she will just lie in bed and refuse to get up until its really late. It makes me sound pathetic but believe me I have tried so hard to sort things out. Can you help please. Name: ranjith Country: India Comment: good article and useful for the children above 10 years.
