[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 123930, member: 8110"] Hi Mumofteendotter I've never been in your shoes, so Idon't know about it from your viewpoint, but I did spend my working life with teenagers, so perhaps my suggestion can help just a little bit. If your daughter wants to be"normal" perhaps she can be assured that she is. It's just that one little step in her metabolic processes doesn't work properly. She can get round it by using her medicine correctly and that should allow her to be involved in everything her friends are. We spend too much time warning kids about things, perhaps just by emphasising all the things about her that are just like everyone might be a way to help her back onto the path. It's like we often tell our kids about the things they do wrong and not enough time telling them what they are doing right. Hana I do hope she can get to grips with her difficulty. Teenagers do love to be just like everyone else. [/QUOTE]
