'I asked her the same questions I had asked her when I was upstairs with her in her room. But now I got answers.'
A few weeks ago I got a call from my daughter’s high school counselor. She let me know she’d been coming to see her a lot more lately and that today was an especially hard day.“Well, she’s been coming to see me quite a bit lately and today she was crying. I strongly recommend looking for some therapy for her if you haven’t already.”
When she got home from school she was quiet. After we got settled and her brothers were doing their after-school routine, I went up to her room to talk to her. I knew it would be a stretch because my daughter has always had trouble talking about herself and her feelings. If I pushed her too hard she would shut down completely and it would become even harder for her to express herself.
But then I decided to try something: I sent her a text. I asked her the same questions I had asked her when I was upstairs with her in her room. But now I got answers. She was able to tell me what had been bothering her and what I could do. I instantly felt better and I could tell by the way she bounced down the stairs a few minutes later she did too.
We were texting for about a half an hour and it opened the communication barrier we’d been having. Then, I could tell he instantly felt better and that led to better in-person conversations.
