Often teenagers don't realise the impact of their behaviour when they take sides with one another.

'Is it my fault that my daughter is refusing to go to school?'

Q: My 14-year-old daughter has started refusing to go to school. She says she's afraid to leave the house. She sometimes talks to her guidance counsellor. She has always been quite an anxious child, never wanting to leave my side, tantrums before going into school. I often wonder if her birth affected her. She was born premature and was in intensive care for over three weeks. I managed to breastfeed her before she came out of hospital and for months after that too, but I worry it's affected our bonding.
