I’m lost as to what to do. I work in mental health (adult). I’ve spoken to her, offered alternative coping strategies, praised her honesty, outlined risks. She talks to me about everything, but didn’t mention this until ds13 noticed. I’ve told my dh and her dad (she knows and is ok with this) and will let school know. What next?
She says she did it because she was upset at being told off (messy room) and has a friend who does it who says it helps.
