You hold your grou...You don't have to do anything. You hold your ground. You let her talk and talk and talk, you smile, act respectful, ask questions, ask more questions, and ask even more questions. This is your chance to show concern for her friends, to ask about them. If you act like you really care (and you should) then your kid will trust that in fact you do care and will tell you when she and her friends are in over their heads. The key is not to judge, but to show concern and caring, even fear for the welfare of people that you hardly know and in fact, don't trust. That's what she's doing. It is only when you are on her team that she'll hear what you really have to say. I'm not saying it's easy, by the way, but it really isn't something to run away from. The well-being of her friends affects her. You should care.therapydochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088184676439578876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072566.post-1150163690438675142006-06-12T20:54:00.000-05:002006-06-12T20:54:00.000-05:00I listen plenty, but when it's time for me to talk...I listen plenty, but when it's time for me to talk, my daugher doesn't listen to me at all. I can't just agree and let her do all kinds of things because her friends want her to. I don't agree with what she says. What do I do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
