PARENTING TEENS (12-17) COMMUNITY
silent type

silent type

I have a quiet type 13 year old daughter. She seldom would sit down and have casual conversation with me and her mom. She would prefer chatting, or texting friends in her room. One day, i called her attention so that we can talked on what was going on. I made it clear to her that while in school you can have all the opportunity and time for bonding with school mates, but once you are out of the school premises the focus for bonding is with us, your parents. This house rule was not followed so I regulated her internet use and confiscated her cellphone. After several months, I found out that she acquired a cellphone and was texting a male friend. I scolded her for this because there is a prior instruction to distance herself from male friends. As a result, she has become more evasive, and communicating with her has become more difficult even if I tried to forget what had happened and tried to restore a loving relationship. What must I do next?
