Not sure how best to title this but it relates to DD, age 11. She swings very quickly between being full of energy, bright and happy to pale, tired and complaining of tummy ache.
One example is at night. She will look exhausted, be laying on her bed half and complaining of tummy ache. I tell her she has to get changed and brush her teeth. She will reluctantly do it and then come bouncing out of the bathroom full of energy and unable to sleep for another half an hour.
Or the other day we went clothes shopping which she enjoys but as soon as we got to the shopping centre she looked droopy, pale and had tummy ache. I made her come in and found her a comfy chair to sit on while I browsed for 10 minutes. Came back and she was back to full colour and energy again.
Another example is that she will say she is starving up until the point that I say dinner is ready. Then suddenly she’s not hungry. I usually plate it up and she comes down about 10 minutes later and polishes it off.
None of it is that serious but it happens so often.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
