My daughter is 13 years old.The problem is she studies all the time!Everything else is uninteresting for her.It's like this already 2 years!I'm going out with her and we go where all other kids go to play or meet each-other,but she is just not interested and always asks me to go home so she could study.She is bored of everything else.She doesn't go out with friends,just studies at home and doesn't want anyone to bother her while she reads student books.She is one of the best at school.I'm worried she misses her childhood.But that's really interesting for her.Has anyone else have such a problem?

I would say try coaxing her into other activities such as what does she like to study. Science then take her to science camp or other things that she may be interested in and can find other people interested in it too. I say that reading a thousand books is not worth a journey of a thousand miles. This will benefit her if you put her into an activity that she is interested in.
Yes I did have that problem. I missed out on a lot, but my parents forced me into other activities and that did nothing. So don't force her.

I kinda used to be like that. All I would do is read all of the time. I think you should count it off as a blessing. But I do suggest that you get her involved with a children's group or something. Like your local YMCA has basketball season or a drill team or something like that. She may not know what's she's missing. But then again, when she gets older, she'll probably start to want to go out and meet new friends. Kids are ever changing. They swing back and forth with their interest and desires. She's just really into learning new information. Maybe if she found other kids like her, she would find them just as fun.

Have you had her IQ checked? She may be on of those whiz kids. Does she show any signs of depression? Is she being bullied at school? I turned to studying all the time when I was in high school because of bullying. That sounds dumb, but it's true. if that's not the case though an as long as she's happy, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Do you know how many other parents wish they had this problem? Yes, it is a little different. Does she have ANY friends at all? I read a lot when I was her age, but I also looked forward to seeing my friends. There should be some balance somewhere...maybe consult your doctor.

Actually I was this way as a child. Enjoyed books more than people. I grew out of it once I got into high school, but I still like books more.

i had a daughter alot like yours it worried me just as you worry. she turned out just fine graduated with 3.98 GPA in h. s. went on to college graduated near the top of her class with honors and was offered her dream job right out of college. we are all different she sounds fine to me. maybe she would be a little bit happier if you except her for who she is and quit trying to make her something she's not. i wish someone would have given me this advice

Maybe she needs to get together with other people her age who have the same interest in studying. Maybe they would have more in common.

If she is happy, what's the problem?
Let her be herself and stop trying to turn her into the person you want her to be.
