"Many parents wish that children would be perfectly compliant until they graduate from high school. This is not how parenting works. It's a gradual turnover of power and control from the parent to the child. Your child is pushing for more control, so look for areas in her life where she can grasp it without jeopardizing her health and well-being."Instead of allowing her to stay out later, increase the amount of time she can be on-line or on the phone. Let her take a school-chaperoned trip that will satisfy her desire for adventure. This is a crucial time in a child's life; parents need to be as engaged with their kids as ever.
