Problem with my daughter...
We are having a problem with our 18 years old daughter. She doesn’t want to do anything even studies. She gets up at six o clock in the evening and doesn’t eat anything in the morning. She talks with us very rudely and keeps blaming us for everything. I suggest her to go and see a psychologist but she refuses to do so.
What should I do now? How can I convince her to see a psychologist with me so we can solve this problem?

Hey
Thanks for sharing. I can’t imagine how helpless u feel as a parent. I can understand that this behaviour is not healthy for her and in acceptable on all grounds. Since when is all this going on ? What happened that made her distant from u?
It’s important to understand the entire history of her life as a kid from her perspective too.
Since u have reached out for help.. I would suggest u connect over a session to first deal with what challenges u abt this entire situation. I know u want her to seek help ... and that is something that she needs to be open to herself. U can tell her and but not force her at this point in time.
Next Steps
Pls don’t stop urself from dealing with ur issues connected to her. U deserve to be heard too.

Children mimic what parents believes are something is pent up inside her due to which her behavior is problematic try and calmly explain her that it's just a talking discussion session just for a 3rd perspective like you see a doc when you have fever
Try and convince her and make it a positive experience where probably you and the father will accompany her to the session for a regular check up . Removing the taboo and negativity around the word psychologist is a must here

Wellness Greetings to you.
Analyse few things which can make it easier for you to know how to get her in track.
1) When all this started and why .
2) Is there any specific reason why she is doing it or she is always like this
3) Does she have any one person to whom she doesn't behave this way and wanna talk her heart out.
Through this we can counsel them to guide her initially and later can bring her to directly to Counselling.

Yes, it is a difficult situation..
Children being in a confusing at this is normal, yet, to get some clarity and to move on in life, seeking a professional support will be useful.
Next Steps
You can look for a therapist on her behalf and can recommend them to your daughter and can suggest her to talk to them first before meeting them.
She might get a comfortable feeling and then she can decide herself..

Hi..It seems you are facing parenting issues. I would like to know since when are you facing these issues? Did this happen in the recent past? Was there any major changes? Being a father(,parent) , I can understand your concern for your daughter.Your daughter is in a transition phase of her life and sometimes teenagers find it difficult to cope up during this phase. Try to talk with her ,provide unconditional support,encourage her that anything and everything can be discussed without any judgement.Be with her..and try to psycho educate her of consulting a Psychologist.Keep trying.Good luck
