11 year olds like to watch dvds, play video games for younger kids, even guitar hero is great for hand eye coordination. They love to play dress up...like give her a little mini makeover with nail polish, makeup, do her hair and let her wear some of your clothes that makeup can be washed off of. Let her know that she's too young to wear it out of the house but in the house she can have a lot of fun with it. Thats all I can think of for now for a girly girl. I hope things get better and she starts treating you with a little (I mean a lot) more respect.
Good luck,
Kimmie
Try playing a board game, letting her watch TV or a DVD or playing video games, or card games. Or play Truth or Dare, even if theres only 2 of you it will seem exciting to her and might be fun for you too. Or play hide and seek. Good Luck!
She's 11, she's a big girl - she's responsible for her own 'Entertainment' or did you sign a contract indicating you were responsible ?
Amblessed's right. One of the best things you can do for your child is to let them know what's allowed (e.g. you can invite friends over at these times of day, you can watch this much TV a day, whatever) and then let her decide for herself which of those things she chooses to do. Once she knows your house rules, which apply while she's this age, don't let her tell you she's bored - just say 'You are responsible for your own entertainment' and let her have the fun of taking appropriate responsibility!
Amblessed - I think we've been reading the same book!
Do:
Have dinner together and everybody can help cook, prepare and clean up afterwards
Gardening or wash the car together
Fun outing e.g. have a day in the city
Together make a card for the elderly or sick
Gather togetherand go to mass
Throw a party
Invite a friend over for dinner or to have a play
Dont let her:
Cry or throw tantrums when you are not allowed to invite a pal over
Have poor eye contact when talking to people
Speak very softly or saying very little
appearing very anxious when the centre of attention
Devote an excessive amount of time to computer games
being constantly alone in the playground, hovering on the edge of groups, not joining in, having no friends or one or two friends
spend a lot of time alone in her room
